Latest / Behavioral Economics with Fexingo: Decision Making, Bias, and How People Really Spend
How Your Brain Tricks You Into Buying Things

Lucas explores the landmark study on organ donation opt-in versus opt-out rates, while Luna examines how default settings in retirement plans exploit our inertia. We break down why the easiest path is rarely the best financial one and offer concrete steps to audit your own defaults. This episode provides a clear framework for recognizing when systems are working against your wallet.
