Nah, by reading the comments, I've got better at not buying crap, just because it is cheap.
OTOH, sometimes you need to buy first, then consider. Better to cancel than to miss out :)

Argh !!!
The new "in" word that seems to have been used everywhere in the last 2 weeks.

Even US TV channels have been pushing this during nightly newscasts (of all things).

I want my brain back +++ my time.

Sorry, thought it was some new fashion in pavers or a new word for spewing…

I'm getting old 🤷‍♀️

Pretty much.. For me it's a weird way of retail therapy

I don't have other expensive hobbies like others such as travelling or going to wine country or getting an air bnb getaway but those experiences are definitely nice they just don't speak to me

Also not having a car is nice on the wallet.. So my only real spending problem is cheap deals
