For myself, I have never quite understood whether I'm purchasing items I really want and need, or whether I'm buying just to buy. I mean, recently I bought some furniture to decorate my pretty much empty apartment. I bought all of it within just a few days, but I don't use credit cards. I also purchased some items I really needed ( drugstore stuff), and I went for an eye exam and bought new glasses.

I'm using everything I bought, but I did spend $4,000 on all of it, and I had plans for buying what I bought before I had the money to do so.

So is that crazy spending, or is it practical spending?

My husband is frugal to the point at which I find unrealistic. He is shocked at how much I've spent. So it leaves me confused.
