You feel like you have longed to shop for that particular item for a very long time, but there is always the good and bad angel sitting on each shoulder and trying to whisper in your ear on what you should do. Maybe it is an item that falls under the category of treating yourself and maybe, just maybe, you are one of those people who always come down unnecessarily hard on yourself.
The right time for you to buy that long-awaited item never seems to appear, and you can hear your husband's voice of disapproval just as you once again are doing a bit of pining window shopping.
Do The Research
Here is where consumer reports could help you. Play the game of your significant other, who naturally is that annoyingly logical one, who always comes up with a sound, well-thought out reason why not to buy anything, or go anywhere for that matter.
But beat them at their own game. Do the research of previous clients opinions and make a pro's and con's list for your item. Make a presentation of it for your significant other. Dazzle him or her with how seriously you have looked into this matter. Present to him or her a snippet of the information you have retracted from the net. Make it a power-point presentation, full on with graphs and charts and that significant other of yours, used to dealing with numbers and calculations all day long, will likely be so thrown off guard just buy the presentation in itself that you can slip some negative issues under their noses.
