The moment before you pay
A discount makes it urgent. A good review makes it obvious. A polished page makes it feel decided.
None of that is dishonest. It just answers a different question than the one that matters to you.
Most of us are asking: is this a good product?
The useful question is: is this a good purchase for me, right now?
The method
One pause. Seven questions. One answer.
Above an amount you set for yourself, you stop for ten minutes and run the questions in order. The goal is never to talk you out of buying — it's to put the factors that decide it in front of you while you still have a choice.
STEP 01
10 minutes
A fixed pause, triggered by an amount you choose yourself.
STEP 02
7 questions
Asked in order, in plain language. The questions do the work.
STEP 03
BUY · WAIT · SKIP
One answer, written down. A “wait” gets a date.
The seven
The 7 Questions
The whole method fits on one page of the ebook. Each question gets a short chapter showing how to answer it quickly — and what a weak answer looks like.
-
01
What problem am I solving?
Describe it without naming the product.
-
02
Do I need it now?
Now, later, or just want it — all three are honest answers.
-
03
Will I actually use it?
Name three things you'll do with it this month.
-
04
What are my real alternatives?
Including keeping, repairing, and doing nothing.
-
05
What will it really cost?
Over a year, not at the till.
-
06
What should I verify?
Model, warranty, returns, recurring charges, total.
-
07
Buy, wait or skip?
One of three. A “wait” gets a date, not a maybe.
This page shows you the questions. The ebook shows you how to answer them — with examples, and the two pages you'll reuse.
Try the answer
The answer isn't always “no.”
The Buying Lens doesn't tell you what to buy. It gets the decision clear enough to land on one of three answers. Pick one to see what it means.

Buying thoughtfully doesn't mean buying less.
It means buying with your eyes open.

Look inside
Real pages, before you buy.
Four pages from the 36 — including the two you'll keep coming back to. Tap one to open the full-screen reader; swipe through, tap again to zoom.
Research, not verdicts
Use AI to research.
Don't let AI decide for you.
The ebook includes practical prompts for using AI as a research assistant when checking products, alternatives, reviews and details — plus a short list of what it isn't reliable for, and what you should never type into it.
GOOD FOR
Comparing specifications, listing what to check, explaining a term, drafting questions for a seller.
NOT RELIABLE FOR
Current prices, stock, offers, return or warranty policies, and anything that changed recently.
INSIDE
Four reusable prompts, and a list of what never to type into an AI assistant.
Who it's for
This is for you if…
- You often hesitate before buying something.
- You sometimes buy because a deal feels urgent.
- You want a simple way to think through larger purchases.
- You want to compare alternatives before deciding.
- You want to use AI for research without blindly trusting it.
- You want a practical system, not another budgeting course.
What it isn't
- It isn't a financial investment guide.
- It isn't a budgeting course.
- It isn't about never spending money.
- It doesn't recommend products, brands or retailers.
It's a simple purchase decision guide. It is not financial, legal, medical or other professional advice.
