Pro tip: I used to book flights 2 months out, now I wait for the 3 week mark after getting burned on a $410 Denver ticket

Booked early thinking I was smart and the price dropped to $260 two weeks later, no refund on the difference. Now I set a Google Flights alert and pounce when it dips, saves me around $100 a trip. Anyone else track prices this way or do you just eat the early booking risk?
