Habits That Save You Money: Waiting A Week

As obvious as it may seem, the best way to limit the amount of impulse purchases you make is to take the "impulse" out of the equation. A good habit to get into is waiting a week before making any purchases you would have otherwise made on the spot. By the time next week rolls around, chances are you will be much less inclined to make that purchase at all. Most of the things we end up impulse buying aren't things we desperately need right now anyway, so this shouldn't negatively impact you in any way.
