I don't go for big-ticket items......
Feb. 6th, 2008 01:53 pmI look at the stuff I want to buy, and most of it is relatively inexpensive (<$100). I don't need to have a high-definition flat-screen TV; I'm fine with the one I have.
But there's a whole bunch of little stuff I'd like to get. Part of me says, "it's OK to buy, it's relatively cheap". Meanwhile, another part of me says that even though they're inexpensive, these little things will add up, like drops of water in a bucket.
I do like to shop. I like to get out of the house and visit places I want to buy from. But I rarely go for the sake of looking around. If I visit a store, I feel obligated into buying something from them. Otherwise the people who work there might think I'm casing the place or going to shoplift from them.
I suppose this is why dollar stores exist. People can go and shop, buy cheap things, and not feel very guilty about spending lots of money.
[Updated 14:20] Of course, I'll wait until I have the cash to spare. Some things are more important, like the mortgage, utility bills, and spousal support. Maybe this will be an incentive for me to get my taxes done.
