If something really needs to get fixed or maintained, not getting it done right away can result in a lot more cost down the road. Although a bit different, delaying can also have the opposite effect.

I realized I didn't really need one before I made a final decision. I'd prefer to view my final choices in a store before purchasing it. If that's not an option I would definitely search out reviews online, especially from sources that appear to have no bias or reason to rate one way or another. And yea, those tricks our parents did sometimes work :) I have been trying to come up with a good way to "punish" myself when I buy something I don't need or do something dumb financially but haven't thought of anything good yet.

They would make me save up all the money first, or wait for a birthday or something, because I didn't get an allowance. Now I wait until I get some unexpected money, which since it is unexpected might take a while. =) I kind of trick myself like my parents did when I was a little kid because I have this bad habit of getting my heart set on buying something for really no good reason whatsoever.

Panasonic's been really highly rated but Hitachi looks great in the stores and has gotten good reviews as well.
