The author wanted a new bed and to redesign their bedroom for almost five years but prioritized other expenses first. Finally, being pregnant and wanting more comfort pushed them to buy a new bed and wardrobes, costing over £2,000. Similarly, the author wanted a Mercedes for five years but only bought one after a family health issue, paying cash instead of financing. The moral is that the author practices patience when buying wants, waiting until purchases are a high priority and they have fully saved rather than impulse buying or financing. This patience has helped them become financially secure and buy quality items.
