I keep telling myself to stop, and usually I’m pretty good about curbing addictions when I want to, but this shopping one has got me scratching my head lately. Yes, I’m a guy, and I’m addicted to buying stuff. Not clothes mind you… though I did buy two shirts and a pair of jeans the other day, but try to forget about that.
Last week, I bought a Series 2 Dual Tuner Tivo, which is great. I love it. My parents have several, and I miss it when I’m at my place.
I bought a new entertainment center last weekend because my old one’s wheel came off. My friend was nice enough to help me set it up. Thanks dude! The new one looks much better, and is more to my taste anyway. I’ll see if I can post a picture at some point.
I bought a new mp3 player, the SanDisk Sansa, this weekend also. It kicks ass. It plays videos, displays pictures, plays my music, tunes fm radio, and is tiny. Everything I’d ever want. It’s only 2 gig now, but once I buy a mini-SD card, that will increase significantly.
My cat has also benefited from my recent shopping spree. She got two new pieces of furniture to cozy up to or play with as she sees fit.
But you guys have to help me out… please smack me upside the head if I spend much more money. Luckily all my most recent purchases came out of my bank account (no more credit card debt, I hope), because I got my $600 tax refund Friday! Hooah! As you can tell, I’ve already spent most of it. Oh well…

When young and single, my toys were a little harder hitting than tech hardware, but just as expensive. I almost learned the hard way that the addiction of new toys could be dangerous to credit and my bank account.
A few toys is not a problem, but save a few bucks for a rainy day or a tank of gas once the price tops $3.50 per gallon.
My husband buys a lot of stuff too… he’s got the money. But, when is enough, enough? Pretty soon there’s not going to be enough room in our house for ME!
