However, wanting the brand isn't a bad thing. I'd like a Bentley. Wouldn't a Volkswagen Phaeton or Audi A8 do? NO! You can even get the A8 with a 12 cylinder engine and, because the brands are owned by the same company, both models even share certain parts like the gauge cluster (different font though). However, the Phaeton and A8 just won't do - the brand is almost the entire reason for my interest. Great post! However, wanting the brand isn’t a bad thing. I’d like a Bentley.

I now try to clean out my closet before I shop for clothes. It helps remind me how much I already have. I then make better choices about what I really need to buy. Great steps!

In a way, that's kind of a variation of step 1. The most common suggestion I’ve heard regarding whether to buy something is to wait a few days and consider whether you really want it.

If I will get a lot of use out of it, the higher the value of the item. I am contemplating buying an iPod Touch, but I am just not sure how much use I will actually get out of it.
