RE: Avoid Buying Products that Only Serve as a Social Signal

in #psychology7 years ago

I do it as well sometimes, I try not to, we are human though. The best thing to do before an expensive purchase is to take a step back and say "do I really need this or am I using it to fill some empty hole I feel from lacking something else?"

There's the old trick of keeping your credit card frozen in a block of ice, so you have to wait a few days to retrieve it for a major purchase.
