10 Questions to Ask Yourself Repeatedly
Sometimes you feel like spending money when you are happy, even if it’s for a short while and then maybe regret it later. So anytime you feel the need to spend money, ask yourself these 10 questions below:
1. What emotion am I feeling right now?
It could be that you are an emotional spender; when you feel like you are not in a good mood or when you just love life, going shopping sounds like the perfect option in your mind. Just relax and ask yourself how you feel at the moment and you may be surprised how your mood influences your spending.
2. Do I really need this item?
This is a necessary question do you really need new bags? Maybe you do or maybe you don’t, you are the only person that can answer this question.
3. How long did I have to work to pay for this item?
This question helps you put things in perspective. If you have interest for an item, look at the price and think about how long you worked for the money and if it is worth spending on that item.
4. Could I save money by purchasing the item elsewhere?
Do not just settle for the first price you see, go around and check, you might find it cheaper elsewhere and you will be able to save some money.
5. Do I have enough money in my account?
You need to ask yourself this question because if you don’t have enough money, you cannot purchase that item.
6. How durable is this item?
Before buying an item, you need to consider how long the item will last especially considering the amount you are paying for it.
7. Where else could I use this money?
If you know you have bills such as rent, insurance, etc make sure those bills are cleared before thinking of buying any other items.
8. Can I borrow this item from someone else instead?
This is a question you should ask yourself especially when the item you need is something you only use once. It would be best to ask your friends or family if they have it and can borrow it to you rather than purchasing it which will help you save the money.
9. What will my partner say?
If you are running a joint account with someone, you need to make them aware of your decision to purchase any item.
10. Which food should I buy instead?
A time comes when you have to at least enjoy the money you have earned and when that time comes, you need to make wise decisions and enjoy your money responsibly.
