This is so true! Black Friday is a double edged sword - it can be an awesome time to get some decent deals but if you're not careful & dyor as you said, then you can get duped into buying something you don't need & not at the best deal as advertised...
I never have been one to go to the Black Friday (or even Cyber Monday) sales and line up the night before. I had some friends who would do that, but no way for me lol. Nothing is worth that BUT I do like to take advantage of the online sales. Now that I am older & wiser, I have a trick I use for this..
When I see something I really want, instead of FOMO'ing & buying it right away, I will add it to my cart & wait til the next day. This gives my brain time to process & if I am not thinking about it after that, then it is obvious I never really wanted it or needed it anyway....most of the time, this technique works...:) The list idea is perfect as well. I do this...
FOMO'ing in crypto is the same - sure, sometimes there may be times it IS a good idea to invest or sell, but a lot of the ups and downs have ppl FOMO'ing too much...I am getting better at not giving in to it & going along for the ride. Critical thinking is needed in both instances...
Great video, Zoltan & I am glad you "survived" the shopping. This time, it sounds like you had fun :) 💚
I suppose that this is interesting if you have like 16-17 years, and who with 7-8 friends, so you actually go for fun... And buy something for a great price, and re-sell it later to get some "free money" :)
I can't imagine myself doing that now... even if they will giving something for free... lol...
And regarding buying the "next day", that's a good strategy... After a day or two, you think about it if you REALLY need that stuff or not... I have done that also a lot of times... and sometimes, that product stayed in the cart forever... :)
Thanks for the awesome comment! Cheers!
