Probably due to years of uncontrolled spending, I still get the itch for new stuff (toys?) periodically. Just
recently, I had a big list of such expenditures being considered and I spent quite a bit of time number crunching
to see just how doable they all were budget-wise.
After a while I either decided that:
A. We really didn't need/wouldn't use one of those, or
B. We could fix up or make do with what we had, or
C. We should get it, but not right away.
I have found that after a while you can stop fretting and
let your subconsious take over these decisions.
In a little while the solution is frequently obvious
where before I was thinking it to death. This works
for me in all venues, and many times just delaying a
decision by itself has saved my bacon. In a sense
not making the decision is making a decision.
