Tip 6 of 7 – Introduce a 30-day rule
If you feel like treating yourself to an unnecessary purchase, write the item down and wait 30 days. If at the end of that time you decide you still want it, then go for it. Even better, use that 30-day timeframe to save the money to make the purchase rather than charge it to your credit card.
Record each of the impulses to make an unnecessary purchase, to see if there is a trend or theme to these needs and desires.
