At one time in my life when I was immature I thought this way, but now realize that I need to try to hang on to as much money as I can for necessities, which is not easy to do with today's economy.

. . . uh, yeah, sure, that's right, I had a NEED to spend money . . .

I mean, heck, I was hungry, I had to buy SOMETHING to eat, didn't I? Okay, well, maybe it didn't HAVE to be filet mignon, but darn it, it's food, and I was hungry!

i have a tendency to be a shopaholic so on occasion i do this.

Oh, yes I know I've been guilty of blowing a few dollars just to entertain myself. Especially in the winter time when there's a break in the weather and I can make a break for the mall. You just know those merchants love it when the cabin fever victims recover.
