When in doubt, go without

I often find myself picking something up that I like and then putting it back. I ask myself "do I really need this?" Most of the time I don't....it was just a passing fancy, lol.


I fell in love, well not really, lol, with a set of Pyrex pans with lids. They were at Sam's club and every time I went "I would stand in front of them and say should I"? Hubby walked up behind me the last time and said "just buy them"

If I look at something a few times, I really want it. Latest "gift" was an impact gun ( removes lug nuts, to rotate tires). I should have bought it 10 years ago! Very rarely do I splurge on much, tools seem to be a good item for me since they almost never wear out and I never get rid of them!

The only thing with cars is everyone remembers buying that wreck for $500 and selling it for $10,000 but they forget about the $20,000 they spent owning/restoring it!

Biggest waste, owning and not using/enjoying it!
