      That’s good. You have more self-control than me.

    Ti m I just had the time to read this post. You’re right convenience does not give us time to think. I know this isn’t that big but when Ron and I moved here almost 18 years ago we would not switch our bank, because we did not want the convenience. Oh who am I kidding Ron and I don’t have the discipline to pause and think before buying. Not making it so convenient certainly has avoided a lot of unnecessary buying and a lot more time for other things. In fact all this time we’ve never had a debit card linked to our bank account we only did this less than a year ago, because we needed to order some parts for equipment online. That gone well because we do not carry it with us or use it for anything else.

      Great advice! So far, my plan is working. I don’t even go to Job Lot anymore. It’s all about changing habits.
