Questions To Ask Before Making a Purchase

[@nikkinath4014]

Practicing minimalism for 3 years and still learning so much every day. I have started to ask: "Would I buy this a year from now?" and "What is the consequence if I don't buy this?". Puts things in much clearer perspective.

One good question is to ask : Where is this Item going to be in 2weeks? 2 months ? 2years? 2 Decades? etc really help to try to be mindful about the environment and makes better purchases. and no impulse buy.

[@andreamartinez9936]

how about purchases that cost less than 30 dollars? Lately I have been tempted by small or cheap things, but sometimes I regret the impulsive shop or I have realized later I really didn´t need it, and in the end those "small" purchase can summ up considerably

Excellent pieces of advice! I've become a minimalist 2years ago in many aspects except clothes. So I wasn't actually a minimalist because I was still feeding my consumption greedy beast lol. I wasn't capable to save any money, and a few months ago I bought another piece of furniture for my clothes. Soooo, I finally decided to be on a no-buy year in regard to clothes and low- buy on all other things. I am 2months in,and am doing great I am getting to know myself and understand my reasons behind my need to purchase. Keep doing the great work!!

Appreciate the small podcasts thank you so much ♥️

I agree with the minimalist lifestyle, you guys are great, you have a lot of good ideas, good points. I agree with your statement... If I have to go into debt for it, I can't afford it. I don't think that applies to buying a House or a Car. Not too many people can save up for a house or a car, they have to finance it...

Theres a $40 thing I want to buy and I’m questioning if its worth the $40. I can afford it, and I think it will bring me joy because I’m buying this to comfort myself. I’m just I little torn because It’s seems expensive but I think if I didn’t purchase i would be really upset. It’s been a week and everyday I look at it online again and see if I still want it (and I always do). Should I get it?

[@osmingerardogomez4568]

Did you get it? Do you regret it?

[@lavenderasmr1880]

Osmin Gerardo Gómez I ended up buying it because I realized that if I hadn’t got it I would be sad. I don’t regret getting it 🙂🙂 its what makes me happy.

"Alternative uses for the money?" Great reminder. I generally don't buy anything that the salesperson doesn't teach me about.

[@anantmishra6783]

great advice.

[@osmingerardogomez4568]

Came to this video as I was thinking on spending >+100 in online classes. Certainly they would add value but when you mention what at the alternatives and if I can wait 30 days to buy It I realized how I was going to spend that money based in marketing propaganda. I will look at alternatives and wait one month and If I still think I need to pay those 100 I will.

[@ahoardersheart]

I just need to stay away from my trigger stores for a little bit! Lol

I am dying to know now what coffee grinder Ryan has, we have a Krups grinder that was my partner's father's from probably 25-30 years ago. it still works okay but a few months ago it started to make a sound that makes us think the motor might be going out and we are anxious about replacing it because "they don't make 'em like they used to".

[@khadijamasood6580]

Ask yourself will I use this in 5 years for big time purchases it helps a lot

[@Brendal2137]

So what should I do if i started to become minimalist, but still I really want to buy Pakt One bag because I travel a lot but it is hella expensive for me. In my currency it's 4 times $325.

[@IgorShevchenkoUSA]

Wait until you can afford it. Then buy it if you still want it and if it adds value.

[@PenniP]

Coffee Grinder brand.....PLEASE!!!

[@Victor-it6bv]

What if i want to buy something and i can afford it but my wife thinks i spend too much money. Is it worth the headache?

[@abhinavsharma3304]
