Time and again, I have been accused of being a miser. But deep down, in my heart, I know lurks a spendthrift... I have umpteen number of unwanted stuff I have bought, many wanted stuff I havent used in a while.
So, this article on msn attracted me and I am just sharing it here.

The jist of the article is this. If you think you want to buy something, list it down and make a note if it is a 'want' or 'need'. After 2 or 3 months, go back to the list and see if you still 'want' it or 'need' it. If it is a need, only then do u buy it.
