Why People Are Suckers for Luxury Cars: The Science Renegade Retirement 2023-04-06 | What is up with our societal obsession with luxury cars?Fresh out of grad school, I definitely fell victim to the luxury car trap, and ended up going $100,000 into debt to do so nonetheless! But why are humans time and time again killing ourselves financially for materialistic items like this that have no lasting impact on our happiness?This is the first in a multi-part series that I like to call "The Psychology of Why You're Broke", where I break down the science and psych theory about why humans make certain financial decisions. My hope is that by understanding the motivations behind our behaviors, we'll be able to make changes that will positively impact not only our bank accounts but also our overall happiness (and set ourselves on the right track towards financial freedom). Just because I went $100,000 into debt and set myself way back on my path to early retirement, doesn't mean anyone else should have to do the same!00:00 Society's Car Obsession01:47 Psychology of Why You're Broke03:57 What does Evolutionary Psychology Theory Say?05:44 Theory of Social Self-Representation06:55 How We're Tricked into Buying Luxury Cars08:24 Feedback Loop of Materialism0:58 Does This Really Happen?!09:51 Impact of Rejection in Early Life10:30 My Personal Experience12:42 What Should We Do?14:29 The One Important Question#financialindependence #earlyretirement #personalfinance
