My wife and I have different views on money. ... Well, I guess it's the same view: money is for spending. But the difference is what to spend it on and when.
I'm a planner. I like to stalk the things I want, make sure they're the right. "Is this the best price? Will it do what I want? Where will I put it? If I lose my sense of smell because of a freak mold attack is this still the one I'd choose?" You know, the vital questions.
My wife? Not so much. "Hey look, that's nice." Two days later UPS is delivering 4 of them and we still don't really know what they do.
I'm sure the best process is somewhere in between.
Here's some stuff I might buy if I were more impulsive.
I need a place to prop my feet up and relax:
It's nice to stretch out and watch TV:
I'll need a clock so I don't miss "Top Gear":
If the guys come over they'll need chairs and a table for their drinks:
(BTW, total cost would be about $6400.)

Haha, I love the mold description. I'm also totally like you about deciding whether to buy something or not. So much so that most of the time An's method would really be a better method when you take the time-equals-money issue into account.
Glad to hear you've discovered Top Gear. I assume you're watching it on BBC America? If so, the shows are a little behind. You can download the latest season from mininova (see finalgear.com for torrents). We love that show....
haha, see, someone thinks I do it right :)
that stuff is *so* ugly. Way worse than the shiny new scanner I bought. Seriously.
That stuff is too UGH-ly to be allowed in the house. You better clean out the garage so you have room for that batch of horrid furniture.
