Social media is a multi-billion-dollar industry where companies cash in on us and our personal info.  And try to sell us stuff. If you’re having budget issues, here are some questions to determine if your overspending is caused by social media:

–Do you constantly check to see what your friends bought?

–Are you following a lot of influencers?

–Do you feel anxious, jealous or dissatisfied with life after checking social media?

Whether you’re spending to fill a void, to keep up appearances, or just because they’re offering a special discount code…you could be busting your budget bit time. You might not even realize it’s happening; I mean, they’re called influencers for a reason! Experts say if you’re constantly going over budget, examine your relationship between social media and spending money!
