Something I've not seen mentioned on here:
When I'm excited about buying something, its often feels like tangible progress towards a goal.
-New running shoes - a step towards fitness.
-New camera gear - a way to take better photos.
It's an easy way to feel like I'm getting better at something.
Now I'm aware of this, it makes it easier to restrain my impulses, and not buy.
