Need vs want
Do you already own something that does the same job?
Can you name a specific problem this solves for you right now?
Have you been thinking about this for more than 24 hours?
Financial
Can you pay for this without going into debt or overdraft?
Honestly, how many times will you use this in the next 30 days?
The algorithm got you
Did you find this from an ad, social media, or a recommendation feed?
Is there a countdown timer or low stock warning on the listing?
Have you bought something similar in the last 3 months that you barely use?
Your emotional state
Are you bored, stressed, or upset right now?
Are you buying this because it looks satisfying rather than solving a real
problem?
Would you be embarrassed to tell someone how much you spent on this?
