[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1799696, member: 30970"]Hi guys, Kind of a serious question here, and I appreciate any serious/helpful response I get. I really like coins (who here doesn't?) I spend about 15-20 minutes on ebay each day looking for deals to bid on. I tend not to make many large purchases...most of my purchases are $50 or under...however, I make quite a few of them each month. Before I know it, my debit card has $20 left on it. My usual response to justify my purchases is "I really don't spend money on anything else, and the money is in my checking, might as well do something with it". I do not hold a job currently and am finishing up high school. I imagine that I really won't be making many (if any) purchases during my first year in college. I just want some control. It usually happens when I see a nice coin I think is a deal and have a few bids on it. I up the bid by only a dollar kind of "just for fun" and all of a sudden I am the highest bidder and the coin is mine. I would not say I have a purchasing "addiction", but I would like to curb it somewhat and express some self-control. Any suggestions? Simon[/QUOTE]
