We've all been in the position where we want something really bad but don't know if we necessarily need it. The first bit of karma-ly advice today is "DO THE 30 DAY TEST, WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU WANT REALLY BAD AND THEN IN 30 DAYS LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND SEE IF YOU STILL REALLY WANT IT" There have been so many times when I have found lists of "things I need" that are a couple months old. I will look at the things that I didn't buy and most of the time I'm thankful I didn't make those purchases. Always ask yourself if you need that item. If it is not a necessity then don't waste your money on it!
Now we can't always do a 30 day test when we want something like Starbucks. So the second bit of advice is , "DON'T SPEND MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE". I believe its perfectly fine to indulge every once and a while, but I've learned the hard way like so many other people, that spending money you don't have ends up totally sucking:( There are a lot of purchases on my lovely maxed out credit card that I honestly don't even know why I bought it! There are also so many things that I don't have any more. So if you don't have money to buy that shirt, Starbucks, video game, candy, etc. then DON'T! If you need things that are necessary to your life and well being then spend the money you don't have, but if not buying it wont affect your life LEAVE IT ALONE!
Think about these two bits of karma and try to act on them this weekend:)
