Good observation in that last sentence there Quirky.
Sometimes I get the urge to buy stuff that lose their fascination five minutes after I have them in my hand. And then there are those who have to have things because other people have them.

If I want something, I truly need it ...
if Better half wants something, well, she merely wants it. She doesn't need it.

Lady,
that's not uncommon, I think everyone does that at some point or another.

Good for goodwill, though.  I think I at least use the things I buy for a while before I get bored and move on to the next one.  But I wish I did not have so much of the old stuff cluttering up the place.

I have an insatiable need to buy anything that is an absolute bargain..like
less than 10 % of its original cost!

That's why I never save for anything...

I figure that I'll work hard saving for something that I really want only to discover that it really doesn't make me very happy and therefore I have wasted my time and effort of saving the money in the first place.  I just binge shop when the mood strikes-usually when I am depressed about not having enough money to buy the things that I want because I didn't save....you get the idea.

Quirky
I used to buy things I didn't really need when I was upset or depressed.  Shopping therapy.
