Economics and money? How about this... every time you are about to spend money, think about the effects beyond just your instant gratification at that particular moment. What value will you derive in a week, a month, a year? What value will others derive from it? This is not to say that you shouldn't spend your own money on yourself, but think about whether spending 10 grand on a new 72" television (to replace your perfectly adequate 42" one) will make a difference to your life in a year or a month once you're used to it. Could the 10 grand be better spent, possibly on others?
