5. Why Do I Want it?
Perhaps the most important question of all is why. Why do I really want to make that purchase? What's my most basic desire behind it?
If I buy a big house -- is it because I want a home with lots of love, or is it because I feel small if I don't own big things?
If I buy a Ferrari -- is it because I really need to travel quickly, or is it because I'm feeling stuck in my own life?
Looking at my motives not only helps me realize how ridiculous some of my wants are. It also helps me understand what I'm really missing in my life.
Things that money can't buy. But things that I need to start working on.
