I don't mind buying items if I have the money, and if I need them. I HAVE bought a few things that I wished I hadn't, but, "live and learn", my Mommy used to say. There are many times I'll pick up something and carry it around the store, and in the end, I put it back. I tell myself that I really don't need the item. Of course, when it comes to books and magazines, that's a different story, but I'm getting better at passing those up, too. I guess I don't really hate to buy anything.... I just wish I had the money to buy all I want.
