Reply to comment by WiseChoices in LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911

A corollary to this is to do a budget, figure out your weekly/monthly free spending money and figure out how many weeks/months of spending money you're blowing on said purchase.
