The last thing that I bought over a $100, was my truck.
How did you determine your need? My other truck broke down and I ride horses so I did not a new vehicle that would allow me to pull horses, so I went ahead and a used vehicle.
How did you search for information? I used Facebook marketplace, and carguru.
Did you evaluate alternatives? Yes I did a lot of research, and looked for the best possible solution.
Did you have criteria upon which you made your choice? I wanted the truck to be strong enough to pull whatever I wanted to pull it need to have low mileage and be diesel, and it had to be a dodge or ford.
How did you assess your purchase? I checked reviews and went, and test drove a couple of trucks, I made my decision on how the truck sounded on how it drove and how many miles the truck had on it also the color. I took everything into consideration before actually purchasing the truck.

I recently bought a PlayStation 4.I used to love to play video games, however having a family, work and school really curbed by ability to spend unproductive time selflessly.Now that my kids are a little older and able to play themselves, I told myself that this purchase allowed for quality time spent with them doing one of their interest.I really had to twist my arm for this.The other factor was the amount of money that these systems go for are ridiculous and I always found other things that needed the money above this entertainment.Earlier this year I received an annual bonus and I thought that I should spend some of it on me for once.To determine which console to go with, I searched the internet for what is the better system between PlayStation and Xbox.I also looked at what games I would be most interested in and which system supported those games.I read many different blogs, vlogs, and articles to determine what system would be best for my children and me.I also had to consider what was available and cost.After consideration, I settled on the PlayStation 4 and then called around to different stores to see if (1) they had a system in stock, (2) if it was a new system or a refurbished and (3) the cost.After price comparison a few different places, settled on the store and made my purchase.
