After a few good months of radio silence, we’re back with a Christmas special to warm you up for an exciting season coming up in 2020.The 2018 Commonwealth Bank Christmas Consumer Spending Study* found that some 15% of Millennials are splurging over $1000 on gifts, with most saving only a month in advance and finishing their festive shopping less than a week before Christmas day.If we think about the notion of “Spreading Christmas Joy” - are we really achieving it through consumption and materialism? With Christmas shopping in mind, in this episode, we will attempt to understand what drives our spending, and are there any adverse effects to the habits that surround what some may call “the most wonderful time of the year”.A big thank you to my wonderful guests Mark Chenery from Common Cause Australia, and Kathleen De Rooy for joining me for this episode.*https://bit.ly/2se72cG
