Everyday spending choices can add up quickly, and the emotions behind those choices often play a bigger role than we realize. The new Building Smarter Spending Habits course in myVRS Financial Wellness explores the psychology of spending and offers strategies to help you align your financial decisions with your goals.

In less than an hour, you’ll learn how habits and emotions influence where your money goes, how a scarcity mindset can impact your choices and how tracking daily spending can give you greater control. The course also covers how emotional triggers — like stress, boredom or celebration — can lead to impulse purchases, and how social pressure and digital marketing can quietly shape your decisions.

The course includes short, on-demand video lessons, interactive exercises and quizzes with instant feedback. You’ll walk away with a personalized action plan and a clearer picture of how to make intentional choices that support your financial health.
