Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

    I’m not poor but this always helps everyone. Wait for a while before you buy the thing off your shopping list. Wait for a week and reconsider whether you indeed need it.

    If the answer is still yes, buy it. It is a must do for expensive things. Never break this rule for any massive purchase like a car or something!

      Also, there’s a big difference between being able to pay for something and being able to afford something.

      If you add an item to your cart but don’t buy it right away, you will sometimes see a discount that it meant to encourage you to buy it.

      I try to never buy something the same day I learn of it. I’ll take someone’s business card, look it up online, comeback later, etc. that way it’s only if I really care about it and not just feeling pressured or spending money for fun (buying stuff feels like an accomplishment, but the feeling never lasts).
