I think it is a great idea, when you actually stop and look at the stuff people buy, just for the sake of buying, it’s nuts. I have a rule I’ve followed for many years. If its not functional, I don’t buy it. That means no buying things that just sit there, like ornaments or knick knacks, or extra sofa pillows cuz they will look nice. If I buy a nice ceramic bowl, it gets used, not hung on the wall. If I travel, I only purchase functional items.. if I purchase anything at all. It all has to be functional or I don’t buy it.

I also have another excellent rule when purchasing something. I never impulse buy. If I see something I want..ie clothing, appliances, gadgets,cds etc.. I wait a week. If I still want it in a week or so then I buy it. More often than not though, I never go back for it, which means I really didn’t need it in the first place.
