Now that you’ve had some practice with the WHAT-IF game, it’s time for a new wrinkle. Instead of choosing one product over another in a single purchase, you’re going to weigh continuing an ongoing expense vs. spending more now and making up the cost later. There’s a difference, as you will see.
Now that you’ve been exposed to the WHAT-IF game (10/06/09), it’s time for some practice. This first try will be similar to the hybrid vs. gas engine comparison.
This time, you need a portable space heater for your new home office. This makes sense because you live in a moderate climate where the winter temperatures don’t demand that the entire home be heated, especially when you might be out of the office for a couple of hours a week on appointments.
Playing WHAT-IF is a strategy employed by astute individuals and corporations to figure out if spending money now makes sense in the big picture.
I hope you zeroed in on two things in that opening sentence: 1) You can use the same strategy as the big boys, and 2) These people are looking at the Big Picture, which is what you want to do.
