Alpha Consumer by Kimberly Palmer

Podcast: Why We Shop

May 13, 2008 11:56 AM ET | Kimberly Palmer | Permanent Link | Print

Consumer psychologist Kit Yarrow recently spoke to me on the Alpha Consumer podcast about what shopping means to us, beyond the ability to buy material goods. She explains how it can define us, how to get control of overspending, and what makes generation Y different.

You can also hear the Alpha Consumer Tip of the Week on how to eat on a budget. Listen now, download in iTunes, or subscribe to the RSS feed.
