We all like new things particularly toys and gadgets that allegedly will make our lives easier. The danger comes from slick advertising campaigns. We’ve all seen them on television and the salesman are so effective and know which buttons to press.
They’ve had years to polish their sales patter and they know from experience just what they need to say to get you excited and ready to buy. How many times have you bought something on impulse from the television only to be disappointed when the products actually arrives? It looks nothing like what was show on the television and usually isn’t fit the purpose for which you bought it.
Now if the products costs a mere $10 plus shipping and handling them no real harm is done. The likelihood is because it’s so cheap it may still be good value. The problem comes when we start to purchase larger ticket items such as a new piece of exercise equipment which may cost over $300.
Now for most people $300 will make a dent in their monthly budget. It’s a lot of money to waste on something that doesn’t work as advertised.
My advice would be if an item costs less than $20 and you really have to have it then buy it $20 isn’t going to break the bank. However for the more expensive items make it a rule never to purchase on the day you saw the advertisement. Force yourself to wait at least 48 hours and then assess whether you can still justify the purchase.
If you can justify the purchase and the money isn’t going to take food off your table then go ahead and buy it otherwise keep your credit card in your wallet and thank your lucky stars you haven’t been conned again
