The 30 Day Rule can be particularly helpful when you are doing online shopping, where it’s easy to click “Add to Cart” without much thought. When you come across something you want to buy online, instead of making an impulse purchase, bookmark or wishlist the item and set yourself a reminder to revisit the site after 30 days.
This delay can help you break the cycle of instant gratification and impulse buying, and allow you to make more intentional spending decisions. In some cases, you may even find that the desire to purchase has completely faded after the waiting period, saving you money in the process. The 30 Day Rule is a practical and straightforward approach to curb impulsive spending and make more mindful purchasing choices.
That said, if after 30 Days you still need the item then you can get it and as a bonus you will have had a while to ensure you have the funds available to make the purchase.
