As a speedcuber, I own a lot of speedcubes, over 50 of them. I keep on buying newer models and never put myself on a limit. Every single time I buy one, I make an excuse like &#8220;oh this one has this new magnet system&#8221; or &#8220;this one is super light&#8221;.  With this excuse, I have bought well over $700 dollars of speedcubes. So, I want to come up with three ways to prevent this. First, I&#8217;ll try to restrict myself and only buy new puzzles. Second, I won&#8217;t check the speed cube website every day. Lastly, I will not watch youtube or Instagram as much as most people tell you to buy this cube or another one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primarily, I want to not buy the cubes I already have. I would try to buy hard puzzles like the examinx (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecubicle.com\/products\/shengshou-examinx\">https:\/\/www.thecubicle.com\/products\/shengshou-examinx<\/a>) and other puzzles. This will help me because I usually buy 3x3s and 4&#215;4, so I want to expand the variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, I&#8217;ll try to not to check the cube store every day. I usually check it and I want to buy all the new releases so if I don&#8217;t, then I won&#8217;t buy all that new stuff. I also know from experience that most of them aren&#8217;t even that good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, I will not use Instagram as much and try to not watch cube unboxings. Usually, I watch them and buy these cubes because they say it is the best but when I use them they are not as good as expected. Also these people are sponsored so they have to say that they are good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, I will try not to buy as much speedcubes and restrict myself by doing three things. First, I will try to not buy cubes I already have. Also, I will try to not got to the cube store&#8217;s website everyday. Lastly, I will not use Youtube or Instagram as much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you don&#8217;t know me, my name is Paul and I am a speedcuber.
