Sometimes we get in the habit of buying things because we see an ad, or because we are walking down the aisle at the store and it catches our eye - not because we actually need it. These are considered “impulse purchases” and this sneaky habit can cause us to spend more money and can quickly clutter up our homes. So today we are going to go through five questions you can use next time you are looking at buying something that wasn’t planned. Going through this process before making that purchase can help you reduce the impulse purchases and keep clutter at bay!Let's get to it!Renae..RESOURCE LINKS:> Check out our website for resources and how to work with Renae: renaematt.com> Send an AUDIO REVIEW or ASK A QUESTION: speakpipe.com/theroutineadvantagepodcast> A.U.D.I.T.
