In a perfect world, thoughtfully made purchases would be used around 100 times to ensure a Cost Per Use of 1% of the purchase price. While there are exceptions, like special-occasion clothing and high-use electronics, the idea is to choose items that will genuinely be used and appreciated.

After calculating the Cost Per Use of this item, I answered questions that gave my purchase a DIMS SCORE® (Does It Make Sense?) from 1-10. My answers to these questions can be found below. Young people are encouraged to consider purchases that generate a DIMS SCORE® of 8 or higher. As you can see, my "thoughtfully preferred" purchase scored 4.1. Can we talk?

Could we also share this report with my grandparents, aunts, and uncles? They might prefer to contribute to the cost of this one more meaningful purchase for an upcoming holiday or birthday gift, rather than buying smaller items that may not be as appreciated.
