" I need it, I want it, I gotta have it!"

Wow.......quickly now before someone gets the wrong idea......the above title is in reference to the must anticipated ( at least by some) release of the new iphone. It never ceases to amaze me what people purchase and how much they are willing to invest to upgrade their lives.  Perfect example: one of my own offsprings feels he could use the new iphone even though he really has no business spending the money. Well, naturally, that's what Apple likes to hear!

A large part of people's electronics purchases and purchases in general are made because of what they CAN do with it, not the more practical what WILL they actually do with it.

 As for myself, if I can't use it RIGHT NOW, I typically don't purchase it. It took me a long time to figure this out though, marketing and commercialism being what it is.

Want to save some yourself some money?

1. Don't watch infomercials

2. Don't read sales flyers

3. Read/research before you buy

 These three principals WILL save you money! For those of you with no will power...Enjoy your iPhone...:0)
