My personal formula before buying anything,quite literally anything

     I was not sure whether this post is helpful for anyone  but still published this post thinking someone, somewhere might actually find it helpful .I have been using this 'formula' before buying anything since my childhood ,I do not remember from where i learnt this great 'formula'

     Generally, we buy items based on the wrong assumption such as

  • Many of friends/peers are having it and i should also get it ( i call this as "Peer Pressure")
  • Many of items we bought , we do not need it/ use it ( I call this as "Robbery" , Yes it is, at-least according to MG  )
  • Just for false prestige ( One of most dangerous superstitions in the world) 
  •  Feel to get more importance among your friends /peers
  • And It continues 

My personal 4 step formula for buying anything. In fact you need to ask yourself these 4 questions

  1. you need to decide  that you should actually need that item, I mean to say you should ask yourself whether you really need it ?
  2. Is that item going to change your life after you bought it ?
  3. Are you going to feel really great after your bought it ?
  4. Are you going actually to use it  ?
If you have answered at least 2 as "YES", you should go ahead and buy it.From my experience, It takes hardly a minute to decide and have been seeing  my expenses under my control. you must give a try for a month or two and see how it woks. if it does not not work for you ,Dump this formula in the dustbin

**Statutory Warning** : I did not consider your budget, Because I`m confident you all can afford it whatever you want in your life , Come on, you have EMIs to get them
