Saving money

If I take enough time considering if I want to buy something, I usually don't. Partly because I'll realize that I don't really need what I'm considering, or the thing I'm considering is seasonal and my contemplation time period will surpass the time where the item would be useful and therefore make it unnecessary and pointless to buy... it would be, what you would call, a waste of money.

This works especially well with food. If you put off buying food, you will have none to eat. Then the closest grocery store closes and you have no food for dinner, so you go hungry.

The next morning you eat breakfast, but you do not also eat dinner. Money Saved!

Does this add up? Maybe. Or it could cause a depression, where by causing the rationalization of spending money on morale improvement items such as songs, videos, games, trips, candy, clothing, and the such.

I like to think that I break even in those situations.

But I am definitely saving money with my prepaid phone, vs. having a contract here in Germany.
