浪費錢的小習慣

You buy stuff without understanding why

你總買些莫名其妙的東西

In Money: A Love Story author Kate Northrup urges us to understand what made us make each purchase. First, we look at our credit card statement. Were our purchases good ones, or are there any purchases that we would have been better off without?In Money:

《金錢：一個愛情故事》的作者 Kate Northrup 要求我們對每一筆花銷都心知肚明。首先我們要看看信用卡額度。我們是不是在買好東西，還是這些東西可有可無？

Once we complete this step, we move on to step two. How did we feel when we made each purchase? If you actually do this step, you might find out that the purchases you made while feeling bad, needy, or lacking, are not the ones you are proud of.

一旦完成了這一步，就來到了第二步，買每一樣東西的時候是什么感覺？如果你真的做到了這一步，也許會發現買這個讓你有點難受、窘迫或者缺錢了，而不是讓你驕傲。
