48 hour rule
The thing that has saved me a lot f money is something I refer to the "48 hour rule". Next time you go out shopping just to "look" or get out of the house and you see something you really like. I'm not talking the $5 to $100 items. I'm talking the new TV, sofa, computer, things like that. Here is a basic system that will save you from buying the thing you already have and don't need. After you see something you really would like to have (not need), wait 48 hours. Think about it during that time. I guarantee that 90% of the time you will not buy that item. You will realize that the money would serve you better in you savings account waiting for the time when your want becomes a need. AVOID the impulse buying! At the end of the 48 hours and you are still thinking about how bad you would like to have the item in question, buy it. Like I said earlier. You are far less likely to buy the item and later down the road you will be glad you didn't especialy when that item goes on sale and you can get it far less than what you originally would have paid for it.
