Cautious Consumerism

Black Friday is nine days away and the “last chance” emails have already started. If you work peak, you know how much people buy this time of year. You’ve probably carried a good chunk of it.

Amanda Martin from the Credit Counselling Society, a Canadian non-profit, will spend the hour on spending with intention: spotting the sales tactics built to rush you, and simple ways to pause before you buy so December’s spending doesn’t follow you into the new year. Nobody is going to tell you to give up your morning coffee.

Bring your lunch and your questions. Camera off is completely fine.
