 @jnbhlr if there is money in the account that the debit card is on, that'll evaporate quickly. if i keep the money in an account in another bank that doesn't have a card and takes a day to transfer, that makes it less easy to impulse buy. with scheduled transfers 3 times a week, you get a steady amount of money to spend. 6 comments
@jnbhlr the main approach i use is that i try to rig my life so i'll be forced to do the right thing. @thor That's totally the way to go from all I know: Make the "right thing" easy and the "wrong thing" hard. Good luck! @thor for me not logging into amazon/ebay/paypal by default and keeping the passwords not in the browser but in the seperate password manager helps some :-) @jnbhlr i can be pretty determined about these impulse buys... it's hard to explain. they're more like compulsions than momentary impulses. @thor No need to explain. Do I need a 3D printer in the sense that I will print enough to justify the space/money taken by it? Maybe not. Did I buy a 3D printer? Yes. I entertained the purchase for about 10 years though :-) Now I need to practice my cad/slicing tuning skills... |

@thor Scientists developed a guidance chart on how to try reduce impulse buyings https://www.projekt-meinding.de/fileadmin/md/uebungen/Tipp-Wirklich_MeinDing.pdf maybe you can get that translated as I think it's fairly good
