7. Avoid Trends 

Once a year, there is a new fad or trend that hits the market. Children and hipsters dance on the bandwagon to buy whatever they think is fresh and crisp. The only problem with fads is that they will often come out of style very quickly. A year from now, you can end up donating those items to thrift stores, or throwing them in the trash.

Instead of the following trends, try to buy products that you know you’ll love for years. A great way to see if you want something is to put it on an Amazon wish list for a while and wait at least a week before you buy it. If you still find yourself buying the items on the list, buy them.
