When you go shopping does everything have to the newest model? If you are like me and trying to save some money then you have to get your mindset off of the urge to want to have newest models of items you are buying. Buy an older model of a gadget or electronic toy is a sure fire way to save money. I will give you a couple of examples.
We all love our music, right? When you are going out to look at ipods why do you have to have the top of the line newest touch version when an older nano will do the trick. In the end you just want your mp3 play to play music. Even an older generation ipod touch is much cheaper than the generation or bigger gig model.
I am looking to upgrade my cell phone. The one I have now has a battery that dies all the time. It's become a pain. I reall want an iphone but I am not willing to spend the new cake on an iphone 4 just because it's new. I am holding off to see what happens with the older versions of the 3Gs. Right now they can't be found as Apple isn't sending them out to the stores but I am holding off to see what happens after the version 4 release.
I have fought my urge to buy the newest thing because I really don't need it all that bad, an older model will do what I want and I will save money by doing so. Next time you are standing in front of the latest widget, ask yourself if you really need it or not? Your wallet will say thanks.
