Sucker list

Don’t get on the sucker list. Some people are suckers for anything new and anything peddled by high-pressure sales people. These seemingly charming gents and ladies have been trained in selling techniques. They receive a commission on everything they sell. Don’t let them talk you into a major commitment (that is, anything over $10!) without first taking advice from others (others who are not already on the sucker list!). Ask someone who knows, such as a budgeting organisation.
