Should you spend the money?

For big purchases, subscriptions and competing financial priorities, separate the price from the value, the need from the want and the known cost from the hidden trade-offs.

A better way to think about a purchase

Ask what problem the purchase solves, what alternatives exist, how often you will use it, what the full cost is and what you give up by spending the money here instead of elsewhere.
