5 Tricks to Help You Buy Less Stuff
 
If you often make impulse purchases you end up regretting later, you can thank The Itch.
The Itch is that feeling that blinds our better judgement when we see an item we really, really want. The Itch is cunning: It goads us into throwing caution to the wind and buying whatever the fancy item may be.
Despite all we know about conscious consumerism, it’s natural for you and me to experience The Itch when we spy goods that are new, shiny, and attractive.
But buying hurts our wallets; the planet takes a hit, too.
The answer is not to buy now and worry about the consequences later. The answer is to buy less.
On this week’s episode I offer 5 smart strategies to halt impulse purchases and buy less stuff.
Enjoy!
