  • 454 – Is Raising Your Credit Limit a Bad Sign?
    Say your bank offers you a credit limit increase. You may be tempted to take it, but should you? When is seeking more credit a sign that your finances aren’t in good shape? On today’s podcast, Mark Borysiak, our LIT in Barrie, joins Doug Hoyes to discuss just how much access to credit you should have and why getting an increase can cause debt problems. Mark and Doug also explain why the banks offer credit increases in the first place and why it’s good to first evaluate your finances before taking on any offers. Tune in for a great discussion!

  • 453 – Should Shopping Be a Game? Risks of Apps Like Temu
    Online shopping isn’t new. Apps are not new. But is shopping supposed to be a game? That’s the angle a new shopping app called Temu appears to have taken. Since its launch in September 2022, the app has millions of monthly users, offers very deep discounts, and has strong incentives to keep users coming back. On today’s podcast, Doug Hoyes takes a closer look at how Temu works and interviews users from very different age groups for comparison. He also discusses whether we should be concerned about shopping gamification in general, how data is potentially treated on Temu, and whether cheaper is always better. Tune in for a unique show!
