Impulse spending can hinder short-term and long-term financial goals.
To save money and avoid unnecessary purchases:
- Consider the impact of each expenditure on you, your life and the lives and environment of those around you.
- Remember that nothing you buy can ever truly make you happy.
- Have a clear vision of what makes you happy and your intentions in life. If what you are purchasing is getting you closer to your goals, then it’s a smart buy.
Spending more money on high quality food may be closer to your intention to live a long healthy life, than a new cell phone.
“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” Henry David Thoreau
