I am probably my own worst enemy when it comes to buying things I want. I always talk myself out of what I want. I try to make sure I'll use it enough to justify the price and I usually don't get it. Having said that, I do have two Viking sewing machines (both bought used) a 936 Serger and a very nice room all my own to do whatever in. DH comes in and offers advice about what I'm doing but he has never said you can't do whatever. When I was working I was a little more liberal but now that I have no money coming in I try to watch it more. But I have a good time anyway.
