I can’t remember where I heard this, but back in 2010, I heard the following quote:

Create a list of all the things you want, whenever faced with a new product, refer back to your list, do you want this new item more than anything on the list? If yes, consider buying it, if not, put it back on the shelf & continue saving for the items on the list.

After running with this idea for 10+ years, it paid off pretty well. Here I am starting afresh.
