#225: Should You Buy It or Not? Try This 14-Question Quiz To Find Out
Have you ever felt stuck on whether to buy something? Maybe it sits in your Amazon cart for weeks—or you hit “order” and later regret it. In this episode, I’m joined by Abigail Roe of Downsize Upgrade, who created the Deliberation Station: a set of quick questions that help you decide if a purchase is worth your money, space, and energy.
We talk about:
- The simple two-scale method she uses to filter how she spends her time
- How the Deliberation Station can stop impulse spending in its tracks
- My own real-life example (yes, I tested it on an item I wanted to buy!)
This conversation will leave you with practical ways to slow down, think differently about spending, and start aligning your purchases with your priorities.
