A few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with my sister on the merits of buying a new car for $17000 vs a 2 year old car for $14000.
Her argument was "it's only $3000 more for a new car."
My argument was that $3000 was 200 hours of work (equivalent to FIVE weeks) for her at $15/hour.
Personally I just feel like it helps me a lot whenever I'm making a purchase of anything... in my mind I'm always thinking "well, I have to work 1.5 hours to pay for that" and it typically makes me less likely to purchase it. Seems like it's a pretty efficient way to save money and increase savings. Thoughts?
