Sat, 17 Apr 2010 18:26:24 +0000 http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/?p=7643#comment-205863 Hey, These are great tips on budgeting. It's so often that clients tell me that they aren't able to save money, but then go out and buy something we both know they don't need and aren't really going to use too much. A professional organizer friend of ours mentioned that if you want to organize a basement or something, don't touch what you are trying to get rid of. Touching brings back the memories. Also, make the decision quickly. If you look at the item too long, you may decide to keep it whereas before you were thinking you were going to get rid of it. The same, as you mentioned is true with shopping. Go with a list, and if something catches your eye that's not on the list, just keep walking. Great post, Guy Hey,

This works all year. If you don't have a specific purchase in mind, then avoid the temptation and stay home. I think we can get ourselves in a lot of trouble when we're "just looking."
