Welcome to Ask the Experts, where each week we talk to people in the industry to get the inside word on what’s happening right now, and what that means for the tactics that you should use to make the most of your money.

FOMO is sneaky — it slides in to lighten your wallet while you're just trying to live your life.

From social media comparison to impulsive late-night purchases, it's all too easy to get distracted from your long-term financial goals. Never mind the locked in spending like groceries, which can destroy the budget entirely.

In this episode, we unpack the real psychology behind overspending, why self-control isn't just about willpower, and how to build systems that help you win without giving up what you love. Then it's on to tackling those bills you can't avoid, and getting life basics for less.

EnableMe senior financial adviser Justin Gauci joins Frances Cook to share practical mindset shifts and small changes that can help you break the FOMO loop — and actually feel good about it.
