Things to ask yourself before you buy

We always say more often that money can’t buy happiness, but it can sometimes buy stuff that makes you happy, right? Well, before you fork over your hard-earned cash for a purchase, determine whether you’re investing for something that will truly add joy and utility to your life. Ask yourself:

  • Is this something I will use at least once a week? Will it be useful for at least a year?
  • Will this thing make me smile at least ten times? Will it contribute to lasting memories?
  • Have I recently seen an ad for this item or experience? If so, am I secretly kidding myself that it will make me as skinny and giddy as the actress in said ad?
  • What am I willing to give up for this purchase? Would I be willing to eat ramen noodles for a week or give up my premium movie channel to finance it?
  • Can I wait until this goes on sale to buy it? Or at least 24hours?
