1. Before to buy on impulse look around your home to see if you have collected too much stuff gathering dust in the closet. Then, before you buy something, ask yourself when you’ll actually use it.
2. If you already have a cell phone, why you need to purchase another one? what’s wrong with the old one? Usually, I have this question when I think to buy shoes. For instance, If you already have 4 pair of shoes, you might ask, why do you need another one? Why do you urge to update it? Do you really need to replace your shoes?
3. Before purchase something, I makes me wonder where will put it. Thus, if I can not find space in my home, is a way to decide not to buy it, prevent household clutter, and a lot of useless spending.
4. One of the best things you can make to reduce your spending is to buy things without have them in new conditions. You can get great deals for less by buying good quality used version. For example, automobiles, as electronics, games, clothing, and so on. My key rule is that to buy from site like Ebay.
5. Another things you can make to prevents you from buying something is to wait to buy it. Before I make any purchase, I change my mind, and tell myself that i can wait to buy at the end of the week or month, and I see if still really want it. Often I don’t buy it and save many of my money.
