Always remind yourself of the carrying cost in life whether you buy something or whether it is about your identity. What is the baggage you are carrying that is a burden and not helping you. What desires and requirements are good to have but not essential in life. When you are consuming something, you are either investing your time, money, physical energy or mental energy. Assess if you are getting appropriate positive return on your investment. There is always a cost you need to carry when you take a decision. Ensure that the carrying costs do not outrun your revenue and savings. Your respect, autonomy and freedom are more important than the things that you own.
