MONEY MONEY · YOUR CART IS WATCHING YOU

SHOULD I BUY THIS?

You aren't asking for financial advice. You're asking an unqualified website for permission to be reckless.

COMMON SCENARIOS:

BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING STUPID

RULE #1

A DISCOUNT IS NOT A PERSONALITY TRAIT.

Saving $40 on a $200 gadget you didn’t know existed yesterday is still losing $160. Calculate the price in hours of your actual life spent working.

RULE #2

THE 72-HOUR CART RULE.

Close the browser tab. If you still remember what was in that cart on Friday without checking your browser history, you can consider negotiating with yourself.

FREQUENTLY AVOIDED QUESTIONS

What if the discount ends in 20 minutes?

Artificial countdown timers are the oldest digital trick in the book. If you needed it, you would have bought it before the timer started.

Is it ever okay to buy something just for fun?

Yes, if your rent is paid and you genuinely enjoy it without having to hide the receipt from your own conscience.
