I have learned late in life to avoid the "impulse buying" described.

Quote:
I put patience first because one of the biggest way people waste money is impulse buys. If you want something, take note of the date you want it, and wait three weeks before you buy it. If you still want it then and you can afford it, buy it. If not, then congratulations, that is the point of this method.
I waited almost 8 months to buy my system. What was interesting was that once the money was available and all that was required was to decide exactly what to buy, I actually enjoyed the "waiting" part of the experience.

In fact I really like the whole process. Waiting for UPS & FedEx is the BEST. It's like Santa coming in July.
