Two things to recognise Saj:
- Compulsive purchasing (particularly on the Internet) is normally associated with underlying mental health issues - both minor and more serious. It's a temporary chase of a lift/happiness. Many of us here can relate to this.
- Most people jump in to a new hobby with both feet. Guilt will not solve anything. If you're experiencing financial hardship from your purchases, stop and get help. If your spending is within your budget, enjoy the ride, discover what really works for you then have a joyful clear out whilst keeping the bits you thoroughly enjoy.
Btw why do you think us humans feel the need to fill the 'void'?It's clearly a symptom of a more dire underlying problem: using money to try & fill a void. Of those afflicted some get a handle on it and some don't. You have to have a sane budget and know when to stop.
Hmmm interesting you mention the word foolish as I've never felt that, unless I'm just such a fool that I don't realise I'm being foolish loolIn my early days of moving to Vintage SE/ Injectors I got a bit carried away, particularly with certain versions. For Instance I had 6 boxed ER Streamlines, 5 ER 1914, 6 ER 1924 + innumerable 1912s. 6 PAL Injectomatics.
Have got rid of some but still have rakes of ER 1912s, anybody want one ?
I feel foolish rather than guilty.
How many now @Blademonkey ?I don't have so much anymore so no need to feel guilty.
I've never been more happy now I've had a few clear outs and am now only left with what really works for me, I think it's all part of the journey.
