The 3 day rule
At the end of the month, many people often feel uneasy about their finances. The consumerism of many consumers often goes hand in hand with financial frustration.
But how do you escape it all? There is a lot of advice on the subject of saving and conscious consumption on the Internet. One of these possibilities can be found in the 3-day rule. With the help of this simple trick, you have the opportunity to save a lot of money. It is a mind game which – if used correctly – prevents you from making rash impulse purchases that you may regret afterwards. Because the so-called “3-day rule” ensures that before the actual purchase you ask yourself an essential question that influences the purchase decision.
Well thought out instead of spontaneity
The concept, which primarily aims to avoid unnecessary spontaneous purchases, is extremely simple. The idea is based on three points and a period of three days. The most important rule is not to immediately buy consumer goods that you like. Instead, in the second step over the next three days, you should ask yourself whether you really need the item or whether you will regret the purchase decision in the long run. If after this time you still think it’s worth the money, you can make the purchase in a third step without a guilty conscience. However, if the desire to buy decreases in the three days and the desired purchase turns out to be not as important as you thought, you do without the purchase and save yourself an unnecessary expense in this way.
The 3-day rule can definitely point the way to long-term, successful money saving.
