Some people make fun of people who line up to wait for the latest gadgets or sales.

But a new study finds that standing in line is actually good for you. Research from the University of Chicago shows that the process gives you patience and leads to making better financial decisions.

It also gives a higher sense of reward once you get your goal or goods and makes them seem worth the wait and more valuable.
