Set a Spending Waiting Period

To avoid buying unnecessary things, ask yourself a simple question: “ Would I pay the full price for it?” If the answer is “yes”, then take out your wallet. If it’s negative, walk away. I wait for a few days to see if it’s still going to be on my mind. The second rule applies to items on sale. Everybody loves the sales periods, right? But it’s also when we tend to buy a lot of stuff we don’t need. Getting a good deal makes us happy. Until we get home and realize it was just a temporary feeling.
