Whether you identify with this or not, how do you make more wise purchase decisions? Do you use special tactics to keep yourself focused on saving and not spending? Let us know with a comment.


i would honestly have to assume that that's how men process purchasing decisions. i'd also have to extend that to most other things, men seem to have a more logical sequence of decision-making. for women however, i'm not so sure i go through THAT many stages of decision-making, but i will say i always get what i want ;)
