Rule Two draws the line to real consequences. Now you’re thinking, “If I buy this, I’ll have less money for that thing I want in three months.” That reality makes all the difference. Now the trade-off isn’t about having less money, it’s about not having something you’ve decided you want. There’s no deprivation there at all. You’re getting something for your sacrifice. Something you actually want!
This is so true. And you also start thinking about the other costs of a big purchase. And also how can I hang onto that money longer?
