7 How to control expenditure:
Never buy just because you want something, you must also need it. Think before you buy. Think can you afford it. Shop around to check, if you can get a better bargain. Avoid convenience stores. Avoid the sales mentality. If I buy this item at €10, I will save €2, when in reality I did not really need the item and could have saved €10 BY NOT BUYING IT. I want I need I cannot make up my mind Next Slide © Annie Patton Previous Slide

To buy by cash or cheque, this car costs €30,000. Alternatively I can get a loan. Repayments over 3 years at €250 per week. 52 weeks in the year for 3 years total €39,000. Extra expense €9000, but I will have had the use of the car for the last 3 years. © Annie Patton Next Slide Previous Slide
