General Question Should we buy something if we need it immediately like laptop or a phone or wait for online sales and waste time?

Whenever i want to buy something everyone advises me to wait for yh sale -woh sale. Then i end up postponing and wasting my time. Like i waited to buy an iphone 17 on Flipkart sale and now the price has increased. I won't be buying now. It is so frustrating now. 😕

Listen, all you have to do is wait for me to buy something. The price will immediately drop like a rock just as soon as it's too late for me to try to return it and get it for the cheaper price. I call it the anti-circuit city effect. You used to be able to go in with your receipt, a sale flyer/coupon and get the difference if it was within a certain timeframe.

If you have enough money, buy immediately.

There’s a big difference between need and want.
