Rich Girl Roundup: How Do Targeted Ads Influence Our Spending?

One reader notes: Back in the 80s and 90s, marketing reached us via malls and television. But today, it's as easy as opening up your phone and having access to 1-click shipping. How has targeted marketing changed our approach to spending, and where can we draw the line?

Welcome back to #RichGirlRoundup, Money with Katie's weekly segment where Katie and MWK's Executive Producer Henah answer your burning money questions. Each month, we'll put out a call for questions on her Instagram (@moneywithkatie). New episodes every week.
