My rule is I can’t buy a game unless I am going to play it that same day.
Even in cases where the rule causes me to miss a sale and end up buying the game later, I’m sure it still saves me money, and - more importantly - saves a tremendous amount of regret and stress caused by buying games that would just sit my library unplayed.

I’ve adopted this same strategy. I’ve bought maybe 2 games in the last couple years. I haven’t been hyped for a Steam sale in over 5 years
