Welcome back to Mike's English Podcast.
2
Real English, real conversations for every level.
3
Here's something strange.
4
You get a raise at work, more money every single month, and somehow you still feel broke.
5
Sound familiar?
6
Today I want to talk about why that happens, and by the end of this episode,
7
you'll understand something about your own brain that most people never actually figure out.
8
I'll be honest with you this happened to me I got a raise a
9
while back more money coming in every month
10
and six months later I somehow had less in savings than before made no sense to me at the time
11
so let's break it down together and
12
while we do you'll pick up some really natural English expressions people use
13
when talking about money way beyond just I don't have enough so let's start with the basic idea.
14
Psychologists call this lifestyle inflation when your spending increases at the same speed as your income.
15
You earn more so you upgrade everything.
16
A bigger apartment, a nicer car, more expensive restaurants.
17
And here's the tricky part.
18
It happens so gradually you don't even notice it happening.
19
In a few minutes I'll tell you about a specific trick your brain plays on you
20
that makes this almost impossible to avoid without a plan.
21
It actually has a name, and once you hear it, you'll recognize it instantly in your own life.
22
One really useful phrase here is to live beyond your means.
23
It means spending more money than you actually earn.
24
For example, after his promotion, he started living beyond his means.
25
Quick tip, you'll hear beyond your means a lot in financial conversations.
26
You can also flip it around.
27
Living within your means means spending less than or equal to what you earn.
28
Keep both of those in your pocket.
29
Now, here's that trick I promised you.
30
It's called hedonic adaptation, a strange psychological name for a pretty simple idea.
31
Humans quickly get used to good things, and then those things just stop making them happy.
32
Think about it.
33
The first time you eat at a fancy restaurant, it feels amazing.
34
The tenth time, it just feels normal.
35
Your brain resets its idea of normal every single time your situation improves.
36
And that's exactly why more money doesn't automatically mean more happiness or more savings.
37
So when people say money can't buy happiness, this is actually part of why.
38
Not because money is bad, but because we adapt to it so fast that the happiness just quietly disappears.
39
Here's a useful expression for this.
40
The thrill wears off.
41
It means the excitement fades over time.
42
For example, the thrill of the new car wore off after just a few weeks.
43
Now, there's a social side to this too, and honestly, it's a bit uncomfortable to talk about.
44
It's called social comparison, comparing your lifestyle to the people around you.
45
This one is huge.
46
When your friends upgrade their lifestyle, you unconsciously feel pressure to match it, even if nobody says a single word about it directly.
47
And in a moment, I'll give you the exact phrase people use in English when they're trying to impress others with money.
48
It's more common than you'd think.
49
The phrase is, peeping up with the Joneses.
50
It means trying to match the lifestyle of your neighbors or friends, especially by spending money you don't really need to spend.
51
It actually comes from an old comic strip, but people still use it constantly today.
52
For example, they bought a bigger house just to keep up with the Joneses.
53
It's a great phrase, honestly, because it captures something everyone secretly understands.
54
So, if this happens to almost everyone naturally, is there actually a way to avoid it?
55
because I definitely wish someone had told me this a year before it happened to me.
56
There is a way, and it's simpler than you'd think.
57
Stick with me for one more minute, because this is honestly the most useful part of the whole episode.
58
The trick financial experts recommend is called paying yourself first.
59
Before you spend anything from your new income, you automatically move a percentage of it straight into savings as if it doesn't exist.
60
Your lifestyle simply adjusts to the income you see, not the income you actually have.
61
It's such a simple shift in thinking when you really sit with it.
62
You're not fighting your brain's natural behavior, you're just working around it.
63
You can't stop lifestyle inflation completely, and honestly, you probably shouldn't.
64
Enjoying more of your money is a...
65
Okay, let's do a quick scenario before we wrap up.
66
Imagine your salary just increased by 20%.
67
What would you actually do?
68
And more importantly, how would you say it in English?
69
Would you say, I'm going to treat myself, meaning buying something nice for yourself as a reward?
70
Or would you say, I'm going to pay myself first, meaning saving before spending anything?
71
Both are completely normal, natural English expressions, but now you understand exactly what's happening in your brain behind each choice.
72
Try it right now.
73
Say one sentence out loud describing what you would actually do with extra money using at least one expression from today's episode.
74
Thanks so much for listening today.
75
If this episode changed how you think, even a little, follow the podcast, and I'll see you in the next one.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
