Great suggestion. I’m travelling at the moment, but will review this list. I saw the “don’t spend 15-30min” on this and have managed to not really look at the list yet. I plan to revisit it next week and think this will be a good exercise.
Obviously you should adjust for your own money/time preference, but for most employed people in developed countries, the marginal benefit of optimizing a $400 purchase is not worth a whole lot of time, so if you can save an hour by satisficing you probably should.
You may also come up with things that weren’t on the list but matter a lot to you. I just gave the examples I could come up with in a minute, so I’d suggestusing my list as a starting point, not an exhaustive list.
