Do you ever see yourself buying useless crap?

    • Ugh, I guess you could call it this, I buy things I think are useful and without thinking (impulse shopping I think it's called?) and usually ending up regretting the money I spent. I hate it (and it happened just recently too :P) this is why I am not looking forward to the credit card only world, I'll go broke fast...

    • Depends on what it is. When I go to Japantown or Chinatown, I never fail to see something I like but if it's too expensive I deal with it and leave it there.

    I do have those moments where I go, "I will save up my money to eventually buy a car!" *buys a 3DS a few days later* =w=

    • I actually don't like having a lot of material possessions. The things I still want to own (I have a lot of useless crap from a long time ago but I'm getting rid of it) are all useful things that I can't make use of without owning them. For instance I never see myself buying books or DVDs because I would rather use the library for books and Netflix for DVDs. But I buy a lot of video games. Even then, though, I just buy them used because I see no reason to buy something brand new for 150% of the price I could pay on something that's in perfect condition only without the shrink wrap (all my games are perfectly functional and my 3DS that I got on eBay for <$100 doesn't have a single scratch on it). So I think I'm actually really good at controlling my money. I don't like having things and even when I do want something I just buy it used. How savvy of me. xD

    • I'll be like in the checkout line somewhere and just put a bunch of gum, candy and Slim Jim on the little conveyor belt at the last second. They just happen to put all the good stuff at the end. :P

    Not really, no. I'm pretty sensitive when it comes to money. I only buy what I need, and if I have a tad extra to spend, then I'll buy something I want. I usually live alone and earn my wage so I have to spend on priorities first without betting any useless crap.

    • The $2 shop... gosh. Back when I was younger and didn't really have anything I wanted to save up for, just the littlest things would catch my eye and I would want to buy it.
    Now days, not so much since there are things I want to save up for so I've had to cut off buying the useless crap.

    • Yeh, Yu-Gi-Oh! XDD

    That is the biggest one for me really, but I really enjoy it so, whatever makes you happy. There are other random things too, but YGO is up there.​

    • Hahaha yeah I do that all the time.It's mostly food. If I have some change, I usually go buy some ramen for lunch, for 20 cents or a cookie at McDonalds. If I have more, a soda/fountain drink from QT or 7-Eleven.
    Then also Pokemon cards , or cheap art supplies like pencils and erasers or Sharpies. (Mini Sharpies FTW)
