We all know money can't buy happiness.BUT, sometimes it can buy stuff that makes us happy.
To help determine whether you're investing in something that will truly add joy and utility to your life, REDBOOK
shares 5 things to ask yourself:
1. Is this something I will use at least once a week? Will it be useful for at least a year?
2. Will this thing make me smile at least 10 times? Will it contribute to lasting memories? (I love this one!)
3. Have I recently seen an ad for this item or experience? (If so, am I secretly kidding myself that it will make me as skinny and giddy as the actress in said ad?)
4. What am I willing to give up for this purchase? (Would I be willing to eat ramen noodles for a week or give up my premium movie channel to finance it?)
5. Can I wait until this goes on sale to buy it? Or at least 24 hours? (HINT: the answer to this one is always YES!)
I love these tips and thought I'd share!

These are great tips! I have a slight addiction to shopping online since we live in Mexico, so I'll have to apply these tips!
Jen---my sister and I were just talking about online shopping...and how you get the "thrill" twice. Once when you make the purchase, and again when it arrives. YIKES!
