Courtney Carver explains how a purchase pause, a deliberate break from buying, can help you save money, limit impulse buying, and step away from emotional shopping. She shares five ways to put it into practice, from faking a purchase and tracking your wants on paper for 30 days to setting waiting-period rules for anything you want to buy. The payoff is more intentional money management and a clearer sense of what actually matters to you.

Quotes to ponder:
"Shopping never fixed anything."
"Buying something you want isn't a bad thing, but call it what it is."
"If you don't know what matters, buying things may be your way of searching for meaning."
