[quote=Anonymous]It's not a cureall, but I try to guess how I'll feel about the purchase afterwards. It helps to think about past expriences. There are times in the past I've splurged and afterwards was very happy I did so, times I've splurged and regretted it, times I didn't buy and regretted it, and times I've passed on something and didn't miss it. For example, I bike a lot and had a perfectly good $400 bike, but then saw a super-nice bike ($1500 new, used for $700). It seemed wasteful to trade up, but I bought it and have gotten more joy from that bike than any other possession. On the other hand, when I splurge on a very nice meal, afterwards I often think I would have enjoyed a much cheaper restaurant just as much. Your preferences will differ. Don't waste money on things that don't matter to YOU, but enjoy the things or experiences that you will find special, memorable, or particularly enjoyable.[/quote]
