The secret to guilt-free shopping comes down to this one simple math equation.
Transcript
00:00My favorite rule is called the dollar rule. And what it means is that whenever you go buy an item
00:05that is perhaps in your household, so like furniture or electronics, as well as clothes
00:11and accessories, is to see if they fit the dollar rule. So I'll use this as an example. This jacket
00:16cost me $30 and I asked myself at the store, will this be used at least 30 times? If the answer is
00:23yes, then don't even think about it anymore. Don't feel guilty. Just go ahead and buy it and move on
00:27to your next purchasing decision.
