So, I have come to realize that I hate buying things. Seriously.
I get bored. I get excited to buy something (ie. a new digital camera, a new backpack, groceries, etc.). I buy it. I use it or consume it. I get depressed.
What's up with that? Is there a condition called post-purchase depression?
I hate buying stuff, and I aim to stop doing it all together. Seriously. Perhaps I'll starve, but at least I can get off this rollercoaster!

you know, i remember something on the myers-briggs personality test in college about this...it was like: "Do you feel regret after a purchase or before it?"...so this must be a pivotal thing in everyone's life...
You suffer from buyer's remorse!
I do as well - I was depressed for months after my husband purchased a TV that we did not need. Took me months to get over that one, and I was not even the one that bought it...
After I bought my laptop, I took some clothes and other items down to a local charity - as kind of a peace offering to God for living in excess.
what did you buy now ryan?
and can i play with it?
