Waiting 30 days was pretty big for me- usually by the time 30 days is up, I don’t want the item anymore – or a newer better one has come out and I start the waiting process all over!

Building an emergency fund was also key for us because it allowed us to get out of the cycle of credit cards where we would have to spend on credit every time something would happen because we had no money saved.

Great article!

When you put off a purchase, it’s so gratifying when you can then eventually buy something with no guilt. Such is the story of me and my iPhone. Bought one the first day it came out, quickly realized I couldn’t afford it. Waited 2 years to eventually get it, but it was WELL worth it!

I am absolutely for waiting 30 days before buying.

I take it a step further though in my “Controlling The Urge To Splurge” article, where I actually go buy the darn thing. Put it on my shelf to see, and then return it. It helps satiate the hunger!

BTW, great tab there on the Twitter Top 100 list. I’m a twitter dummy, but I’m learning. How do I get on that list?

Good words. It’s amazing what a little delayed gratification and a commitment to saving will do! =) It really comes down to priorities and discipline in many cases. Good post.
