5. I've noticed a lot of people mentioning that it's like people buying a TV (or things like that) for that same price when you don't have the money - am I the only one who thinks people like that are just as silly as people spending thousands of dollars on dolls when they can't afford it? I mean, if you're going in debt for things you enjoy, then that...could be a problem.

But then again, I'm also the kind of person who has trouble coughing up money for a new pair of shoes, even though my old ones are falling apart. It's not the hobby that bugs me, it's the not being frugal.

That's exactly what I mean!

I'm not frugal by any means, but I also don't spend more than I make. It doesn't matter if you're hobby is expensive and useless (like these dolls, or anime, or manga, or hell ANYTHING in mainstream popular culture) or if you go out and buy a $3,000 HD flat screen TV...if you are dipping into rent/bill money, then you can't afford it!

So in conclusion, IAWTC. :)

I get buying things because you enjoy it. But if you can't afford it, why not wait a bit until you can? That just makes so much more sense to me, instead of giving up food or paying your bills so you can own something that you don't really need. It's kind of like how I am with cars. I would much rather have a nice, comfortable, stable house in a nice neighborhood or environment, then a Ferrari and dozens of bills. There should be some sort of balance.
