I have a huge flaw

• rydawg5

  If things depreciate I sell.
  
  I have had over 50 cell phones, 25 cars, 15 game systems, and countless electronics.
  
  I just buy something, realize it's worth a value and gauge what the value will end up being. I panic and sell.
  
  Rinse & repeat.
  
  Whether it's cell phones, tv's, game consoles, cars, etc.
  
  A lot of people have sentimental value on things. I have an opposite trait.
  
  How do you fix this and just enjoy what you bought?

  Nothing you listed has any real value anyways, and depreciated as soon as bought it. So not sure why you buy it in the first place.

  I am the exact opposite, but not for sentimental reasons. I buy a car and keep it until it basically falls apart on the side of the road.
  
  I look at these type of things that severely depreciate as soon as you buy them as 'utilities'. You need them (well a car and a phone), so you buy them and just use it until it doesn't work anymore then go buy another, like clothes.
  
  My last 2 cars had well over 200,000 miles when I got rid of them, my current one I bought new and it has 145,000 miles on it. I will get 200+ out of it easy before I get rid of it.
  
  Just look at them as things you use until they have zero value instead of trying to view them as 'assets'.

  I think I just impulse buy and realize I could care less about the item in like 2 months and want to ditch it while it has most of the value. I basically rent things.

  If it flies, floats, or fucks, rent it, don't buy it.

  "Grass is always greener on the other side" complex???? Meaning that 'something else' is always better than what you currently have? Doesnt matter what it is...but something else, some place else, is better than where you are or what you have

  So you just can't resist the urge to buy new stuff?
