In order to create change, there is a number of challenges ahead. One of them is in changing social and behavioural expectations. One of the way is by changing the narrative individuals are familiar to to another which is more preferable for the environment.
Education appear to be one of the way for people to change their narrative but actually we all know the issue of climate change, we all know what we have to do but we are not doing it. So education as much as we tried to fill the gaps of knowledge through information is not as effective as creating change.
Information has to be tangible. The information needs to be personalised. Social itneraction is one of the most important tool to create change. Tangible personalised and direct interaction help in creating change.
Individuals are loss adverse. we should focus on what we gain.

What did I learn from analysing my expenditure after a year

In the following blog post, I share the results of two analysis. The first one is an analysis of my spendings by categories after a year, the second is analysis of what I want to achieve by category. The analysis contribute to my main aim which is to achieve financial independence. I am currently trying to pay a debt - 12K for a student loan. To do the first analysis, I downloaded all the statements from my current account in an excel format. I assigned a category to each entry. What are the results? I  allocated 18% of my resources to my loan and the same amount to travel to France and have a couple of trip in the UK. I spent more money on conspicuous consumption than food. I did not have many outings that involved financial expenditure. What am I missing? I haven't got a good idea of what all the cash I have taken out was used for. A part of it must be to commute to work, then it is a mix of food shopping, outings, shopping and more outings. For the second analyy...
