CONTROL Impulse Spending in 30 days.

• Whenever you feel the urge to splurge — whether it’s for new shoes, a new videogame, or a new car — force yourself to stop. If you’re already holding the item, put it back. Leave the store.

• When you get home, take a piece of paper and write down the name of the item, the store where you found it, and the price.Also write down the date.

• Now post this note someplace obvious: a calendar, the fridge, a bulletin board.

• If, at the end of a month, the urge is still there, then consider purchasing it.

Are You Addicted to Spending:1. Do you ever go shopping and leave the mall carrying

nothing or only one item

2. When you shop with friends, do you feel the need to buy more?

3. Do you spend money you don’t have at the moment?

4. Do you make only the minimum payment on your credit card?

5. Do you research an expensive purchase (over $100) or do you buy the first thing you see.

One trip to Yahk

I was interviewed by George Stroumboulopoulos on The Hour – a

national TV program in Canada. George asked me, quite

succinctly, if there was anywhere in the world I wouldn't go to

make the trade. I responded. “I will go anywhere in the world

except for Yahk, British Columbia.”

One KISS snow globe

Page 32: Black hole fund

Yes, that's right, I traded one KISS snow globe

with Corbin Bernsen for one role in a movie.

Now, I'm sure the first question on your mind is "Why

would Corbin Bernsen trade a role in a film for a snow

globe? A KISS snow globe." Well, Corbin happens to

be arguably one of the biggest snow globe collectors

on the planet.
