I am good at spending money.
I have a whole bunch of DVDs lined up against my wall, and I haven't watched a single one of them in months. Literally. Months. Most of them I watched once and then kept... why? Same with my comic books. Most of them will also sit on my shelf or languish in boxes, unread.
I've got a suitcase full of clothes I'll never wear again. Folders full of 'important' documents that ceased to be important years ago. It occurs to me that although it only took one car trip to move me into this tiny little dorm room, it would probably take a lot more than that now(a side-effect of being only a short train-ride from home - you keep bringing more stuff back).
This isn't me saying that I'm going to get rid of all this stuff. Although that would be lovely in a protagonist-overcomes-obstacle/fatal-flaw classic way, that just plain ain't gonna happen. I'm just acknowledging that my fiendish persuit of 'things' over the last 19 years isn't really that healthy.
I'll tell you one thing for free - USAvery(which works so much better than AmeriKyle) was really good at staying in control of my consumption. I went there with a 1 suitcase, 1 shoulder bag. I left with 1 suitcase, 1 shoulder bag.
