The power of compound interest is not understood by a lot of people. Something you buy for $25 can end up costing you $50 depending on when you pay for it. Great point.

I personally never understand buying something when you don't have the money for it, especially when the product depreciates over time. After a year or so a few things will happen: 1. The product will no longer be the newest product and a new one will have replaced it. 2. You may be tired of the product. 3. The interest will come back to bite you in the ass.

One should only buy something if they can afford it. Otherwise, you are setting yourself up for disaster. Great description of delayed gratification.

Anytime you see a friend with the newest technology or newest clothing you feel like you are left out. The secret is that there will always be something new. This i why I have still not purchased the iphone despite the fact that almost everyone I know has one. Believe me this concept is very difficult to grasp, I am working on it everyday.

What I have noticed about this is you feel a whole lot more satisfied after having worked for it and knowing that you have reached your goal. Sure there's an immediate buzz in buying something new but that fades within 10 mins ...if you're lucky. I spotted three beautiful tops in colours/styles that I don't have in my wardrobe in September of this year. I tried them all on the first time and then walked out the shop without buying. I hadn't gone out with the intention of buying so I figured it would be an impulse buy if I were to purchase it. Over the next week I couldn't stop thinking about one top out of the original three and suddenly felt an immense craving for it. I went in to try on that one gorgeous top and again left empty-handed. I thought, "No you don't need any clothes." But then I couldn't stop thinking about it and over the following 1 month and half I went in about 10 times to try the top on. Finally I bought the top at the end of October and am really happy with the purchase. I'm so glad I didn't buy the other tops because I haven't given them a second thought.
