Episode notes
Budgeting for Impulse Shopping
- Curb impulse shopping by setting a weekly or monthly budget specifically for it.
- This allows for guilt-free small purchases while maintaining financial control.
Needs vs. Wants
- Evaluate purchases by asking: "Need it, love it, like it, want it?".
- Prioritize needs and loves (long-term joy) over likes (short-term) and wants (instant gratification).
Creative Entertainment for Children
- Entertain children creatively without overspending on toys.
- A simple box can be just as stimulating as an expensive toy; avoid creating a dependence on expensive entertainment.
