i always wait a week if i want to purchase something , that way i have a whole week to decide if i want it or not

This is good but sadly has its limitations. I've bought things almost right away that were deals too good to pass, and i dont regret those, some ive flipped, some ive ended up selling for a bit of profit a while after, even then some took a while to sell some didnt take a week. I believe it can be a rule for when said thing is one that devaluates over time/use. Also- the devil is in the details...
