Ask HN: Change my consumer's buying mindset.

1 pointsby iworkforthemover 14 years ago
Not sure if any of you guys have this problem too. Everytime I see a new gadget/toy/app, I would want to buy it and try. Most of the time, I dun need it, some times I know I can make a better one. But never I can get around it and actually go do it and deliver the better product to the market.<p>Not sure if you guys get what I mean. If you do, I appreciate some advice to get around this buying/consumer mindset, it is costing to waste my time and money on stuffs I dun really need.

Have you asked yourself why you have this mindset? Is it for technical curiosity, social status, boredom or something else? Whatever reason you honsetly find for that, ask yourself how much of it is externally induced through advertising, colleagues, friends etc. Once you find this out, you will have made a first step towards knowing what <i>you</i> really need and spending your money on just that.
