This week’s family-life focus

Your household's needs do not have to match a shopping list in an advertisement. Before buying something, note its purpose, whether you already have an alternative and the full cost. Give yourself time to decide rather than treating every offer as urgent.

  1. Separate wants from current needs.
  2. Set aside one purchase for a later decision.
