The Buying Filter worksheet

What’s inside

01

The framework

The five questions in order, with a short explanation of what each one is really testing for — and which one most purchases fail on.

02

A fillable worksheet

Type directly into the PDF, or print it. Reusable, so you can run it again on the next purchase instead of starting from scratch.

03

Where it applies

Worked examples across furniture, storage, and the small everyday buys — the category that quietly costs the most over time.

If it doesn’t pass the filter, it doesn’t come home.

When you want to go further

The filter, applied thirty times over

The worksheet gives you the method. The full guide works through thirty specific purchases — what to stop buying, what earns a place instead, and what each change is actually worth over a year.
