Working as an art director, I’m used to balancing creativity with practicality, especially when it comes to budgets. But I’ve always wondered how cultural differences shape the way people handle money. For those of you with an anthropology background or even just experience living in different places have you picked up any budgeting habits from other cultures that stuck with you?
I’ve heard some cultures emphasize saving for big family events, while others prioritize daily frugality. Has seeing those approaches shifted how you manage your own finances? Would love to hear any interesting observations or tips you’ve picked up along the way.
