This is a brilliant reframing of personal finance through a behavioral economics lens. The way you break down hyperbolic discounting and present bias shows exactly why the traditional "save everything" advice can backfire psychologically. I've noticed this in my own life - being too rigid about optimizing every dollar actualy left me burned out and unable to think creatively. The bandwidth tax concept is spot on. What's really powerful here is connecting it to generational trauma and showing how scarcity mindset gets transmitted to kids.
