Here is the final piece in my 3 part series about how you can actually buy whatever you want, whenever you want, and without worrying about the cost.
In the first part I shared about keeping the ego in check and remembering what’s important (which is all just a fancy way of saying: WANT what’s in your budget!). The second part was about assigning a potential purchase your own value (not just relying on the price tag to determine its value). Together, these two practices make it possible to buy whatever you want.
But not only do we want to buy whatever we want, we also want to buy it whenever we feel like it and without worrying about the cost. So that’s what today’s post is all about.
I have learned to want things, when I’ve saved for them or when I planned for getting them. Do I want a Tesla? Yes. Do I want it now? Nope. I want the sexy, all electric whip in 2017. So in 2017 I’ll get a Tesla whenever I want! See how this works?!
In general I’ve trained myself not to be in “want mode” all the time. That probably goes back to keeping my ego in check. If I feel I’ve gone on a spending frenzy I cut myself off cold turkey for a “spending reset” and then slowly re-introduce it. (Kinda like what I do with sugar — it’s amazing how a week of no sugar will completely eliminate my sweet tooth! That is until I start overindulging again 😉 Of course, if I want something regularly, I work it into my budget.
Finally, even though I’m not worried about the cost, I’m certainly concerned with it. That’s a really important distinction: I don’t worry about my money but I’m definitely concerned with it. It’s a totally different experience — one feels fearful, the other feels loving.
Now get out there and buy whatever you want! Whenever you want it!! And without worrying about the cost!!! 😉
