10. 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.
11. 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.

25. 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.”

32. 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.
