How to resist buying things...

Sheepy1209

Print out your order history, and for each item think about how much difference it's made to your life.

If you dare, add up the cost of all the items that, quite frankly, were a waste of money.

Finally, if you've still got them, ebay them or wrap 'em up for Christmas presents!


(PS It could have been me who wrote your post!).

The real problem is not so much the temptation to own things as the feeling that you are being stopped from enjoying your own money.

Charis - you've got it spot on!!

I have the same problem...mind you I did buy some half price seeds from Thompson & Morgan today along with some plastic spouts to screw onto pop bottles to make handy watering cans. I know that I will plant the seeds and eat the fruit and veg that they produce.

It doesnt stop me hankering after stuff though but I just have to find the willpower from somewhere - maybe switcing off the computer would help?
