		<description>Thanks! Oddly enough it is sort of for my old publication. I agree on the waiting game—I even do it in stores. The other week I saw a pretty (and pretty inexpensive) scarf. I though it would make a great addition to my wardrobe. Instead of going right to the register, I carried it around the shop and tried it on a few times. After a while the impulse to buy faded. I realized I didn&#039;t NEED it and put it back on the rack.</description>

		<description>Congrats on the consulting gig. And good decision to not buy the laptop. Even when I was employed, one of my best ways of saving money was to virtually buy things. I&#039;d watch prices of items for months, and then realize that if I didn&#039;t buy them, I probably don&#039;t need them.</description>
