needs vs wants
March 22, 2011
Yesterday I learned how I made mistake by not letting my mind do an analytical thinking before deciding.
I lost money, although it’s just a little money, but I learned something.
1. Do think before buying. If you don’t have time to think, then postpone the buying later
2. Do you really need it? Don’t buy something because it’s fancy
3. Do you really have the money ( optional and not too important in decision making )
4. Do you know the item you’re buying? ( also optional decision option ). If it’s something you don’t know good or not, then don’t buy it. But if it’s something you don’t know, then better to have a look for it or asked someone. Or if it’s something that you know you are going to use, then just buy it.
