Questioning Purchases - The Stranger Test
A stranger offers you $1000 cash or the new HDTV you are ogling at Best Buy. Which would you choose? If you picked the cash, then you better think twice before trading your hard-earned cash for that shiny new TV.
Save yourself a lot of money by pausing to question your buying decisions. If the purchase is still worth it to you, and if you have room in your budget, then go ahead and buy it. If not, then you should turn around and walk away before you change your mind.
This idea comes from a reader at fivecentnickel.com. Do you have any cash saving ideas?
