Great point! We do much the same, and it really does pay off huge dividends if you can pre-plan. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Absolutely agree that fighting the desire for instant gratification can help save money. Also in my case I use a bit of pre-planning to save money, especially when it comes to my son. For instance, I know he will have outgrown his bike by next summer so I patiently kept an eye out at garage sales and was able to snag him a practically brand new one for $15. It will be perfect for next year!

Great point – I think budgets are great if you’re just getting started with personal finance! As you get more advanced, you’ll find that you can move beyond the budget to an overall shift to frugal thinking in everything that you do. Thanks for commenting!

Great corollary drawn between saving and investing! Very true! You should make a post about your desk. I’d be interested to see it 🙂 Thanks for adding to the discussion.

I totally agree with this, I have been on the market for some decent home office desk, didn’t want to go the IKEA way, wanted something of an antique, something that would perhaps appreciate in value with time. Ofocurse it takes a while to get something striking but I did after almost 2 months of hitting antique stores, sales etc…landed it for somewhere way below my budget!
The lesson also goes to saving money say for investment. Patience and holding your investments for the long term is what will be rewarding.

You can typically save even more if you want until black Friday and head over to newegg for their deals…

I was much the same way when I was a kid. I didn’t really grow monetary patience until I was in my late 20’s 🙂 Good luck with the lesson!

I keep telling him that things are going to go on sale in the next 6-8 weeks and he can get more for his money. But as you would imagine, the typical teenager wants his new thing NOW. I keep pushing him to wait….he doesn’t like it, but I think he understands where I’m coming from. he’ll understand even better when we find that deal in the upcoming weeks. Great post!
