If your spending is not getting you into debt I don't believe your spending is a problem.

I like to buy things too. When Estee Lauder or Clinique had their bonuses I "had" to buy something because it was such a good deal and I deserve nice stuff, right? That was not a problem for a long time but about 2003 or so I started collecting model horses (one is my avatar). At first I bought inexpensive horses that cost less than $50 and I only bought them once in awhile. Not a problem. But I found several sites on the internet where they were sold and started wanting nicer horses. I bought one that cost $100 and said wow that's a lot of money for a horse. But still not a problem because I was not spending myself into debt. I spent more time online looking at the horses and I saw some horses that cost $400-500 and thought who would spend that much on a twelve inch tall horse. Within a few months I bought one that cost $400 but the seller let me pay $100 per month until it was paid in full so still not a problem. But it became a problem. I saw a horse on ebay that I loved and it cost $600. I won the auction. The next day a man came and knocked on my door and said I needed to pay $600 for my overdue electric bill or he would have to turn my power off. I had just a little over $600 cash in my purse. I said turn the electric off and drove to the post office and bought a money order for the horse and four days later I had my horse but no electric. I didn't care I was happy because I had my prized horse. I was beginning to have a problem. It got worse and worse. One weekend I spent an entire month's income on the internet to buy three horses. For six months I did not pay my mortgage because I wanted horses more. At my worst I spent $2500 that I took from my retirement to buy a horse. A plastic horse! $2500 is more than I make in a month. I was very lucky that my farm is owner financed because a bank would have foreclosed and I would have lost everything. Finally I got a letter saying if I did not start to catch up on my mortgage they would be forced to foreclose. I was shocked into depression and had to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. When I came home I started paying my mortgage and I bought fewer horses though I still felt compelled that I must have more and better horses. The last couple of years have been better. I bought only two horses in the last two years and spent less than $100 on each and I commissioned artists to custom paint two horses in the past two years which cost about $300 for each.

That is my story of bipolar manic spending. It does not sound like you are in trouble yet but if you start spending like I did you would then have a problem.
