buying/owning things

[Bolletje]

I made a wishlist of clothes I’d like to own, but I’m only allowed to buy them once I drop at least 8 kilos of recently gained weight.

Aced, I know what you mean about your things being touched. Even worse for me is things being moved with no reason. If I see it happening, I can feel myself getting tense and waiting for the next opportunity to move the things back where they were.

i'd say hobby is a better term.

same here!!!! i still love collecting music but i do like streaming as well. owning music you like is way better in my opinion.

My problem is money - that I don't have enough money to buy everything that I would like and have to restrict myself to x number or purchases each month. And then I can't buy all of the new releases I want. It's frustrating. But perhaps not a bad thing, because I appreciate what I've got or the ones that I have selected to buy more this way - and the releases that I didn't manage to buy I can stream if I want to.

Books are pretty much the only thing I buy for myself. I want to own as few possessions as possible.

The fun is in the shopping. Opening and actually having stuff is a distant second for me. I still have stuff in boxes that i never opened, lost, or forgot i ever ordered. But I digress into off-topic topics like 'hoarder' and EFD/ADD. Shopping is my funnest addiction; dont want no 12-step program for that, just a bigger bank account.

I did emotionally shop then l returned to eating my emotions. Now l am buying books and l am enjoying this the most. I get to move in four months, so l need to downsize some of my books.
