Realistically, if someone has no financial self discipline then the last thing they care about is running their purchases through "spending filters!" :-) Excellent points. Without self discipline we are doomed to always be left wanting.

Like you mention "Do I want it?" helps me delay and think about it. I can always come back a few days later if I do, but more times than not I realize it is something I don't need and can save a few bucks by not spending the money. Filters help keep your spending at bay. The filter for me helps with impulse buys. Like you mention “Do I want it?” helps me delay and think about it.
