Once again – I CAN RELATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, it’s amazing – it if wasn’t for my wife, I dunno if I’d have much more than about 10 bucks in the bank.

I see, I want, therefore I must buy. Does not help that I’m a “toy nut” – gotta have the latest gadget, computer stuff, car stuff, whatever.

Our cell phones work just fine – but there’s great new ones out with bigger screens and better reception and all sorts of HANDY stuff (I MAY justify that as an ADD tool – I can load it with apps and am more likely to use reminders, calendars, lists, etc. if I can READ them)

Bought a new laptop computer Saturday. I didn’t need a 17.3″ screen, built-in blu-ray player, quad-core processor and so on….. OTOH, buying the best one can afford means it will last more years – got 6 years out of my prior notebook!

I gotta have “stuff” – he who dies with the most stuff wins, right?

BTW – it took me 3 trips to town, and the equivalent of 12 hours to make a decision on that computer………. 3 hours in one store pondering the choices.

UUGGHH!

anniea -> >>I LOVE craft/art fairs. I have a pretty steadfast rule… not to buy anything until I have walked all the way through the tables. This has cut down on impulse buys. I love the creative stuff people come up with. <<

I can relate!
