Using the tool
Should I Wait? is a free tool to help you reflect on shopping decisions. You remain responsible for deciding what to buy, when to buy it, and what you can afford. Suggestions are based only on the answers you enter and a small set of disclosed rules.
Scope and limitations
The tool does not provide financial, medical or legal advice. It does not assess your complete circumstances, verify prices, predict sales, guarantee savings, or establish whether a product is suitable. Do not rely on it for essential care, safety decisions, borrowing or investment decisions.
Cost per use depends on your estimates and excludes costs you have not entered, such as repairs, financing, delivery or resale value.
