I call it the "Sunday rule." Every time I want to buy something over $50 — shoes, gadgets, fancy skincare — I add it to a list on my phone. Then I wait until the next Sunday. If I still want it, and I can afford it without dipping into savings, I go for it. But 80% of the time? I don’t even remember why I wanted it. The impulse fades. The Amazon cart stays empty. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s worked. Last year alone, I saved nearly $2,000 just by delaying gratification. That’s a weekend trip. Or a new roof. Or just less stress about the unexpected. It also gave me a better sense of what I actually value. Turns out, I don't need half the stuff I used to convince myself was “essential.” I just needed a pause button. #Finance #MakeMoney #MoneySavingHack
