Saving Money

The 10 second rule:

Whenever you pick up an item in a shop with the intention to buy it. Spend 10 seconds asking yourself

• Do you really need to buy it.


• Do you really want it.


• Do you really like it.


• Could it be cheaper somewhere else.


• Is there another version that costs less.


• Why are you buying it.

Most of the time you will put the item back on the shelf.

The 30 day rule:

Whenever you are considering buying an item over a certain amount say €20 you simply write down the item you were considering buying and wait 30 days to see if you still want it. If you do then buy it. Most likely you will forget all about it or realise that you do not really want it.
