Mindful spending means pausing before purchases to consider whether they align with your values and goals – it’s about quality over quantity.
Ask yourself:
- Do I really need this?
- Will it add value to my life?
- Can I afford it without sacrificing other priorities?
The 24-hour rule helps prevent impulse purchases that you might regret later.
Write down what you want to buy and wait a day before deciding – you’ll often find the urge passes.
Focus your spending on experiences and items that bring lasting satisfaction rather than temporary pleasure.
Track your spending for a month to identify patterns and areas where you might be wasting money.
When you’re intentional with spending, you’ll have more money available for things that truly matter to you.
