Do I have a spending problem?

Question

Because I think I do 😅

OfMiceandMen · Accepted Answer

Nope, if anything, I should spend something once in awhile. I tend to go long stints where I buy absolutely nothing.

Although, my upbringing tells me not to get into the whole wealth thing, once you have what you need, you put aside for other family members who need help.

Yes if you don't have time to build all that the two rivendell sets seems overkill. It's Lego so not only should you build the set you should moc your own creation out of them. Besides that it depends on your income can you really spare that much money on a hobby.

There's not necessarily a way to tell just from that picture. You'd have to give us your current financial situation and your other spending habits

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

No, I don't have a spending issue. I'm very good at managing finances.

Andres77 · Answer

As long as all your other financial responsibilities are taken care of and you’re not buying this stuff on credit.

and i agree with what @Sparkie460 said. If you use it, no problem. If you stick it in the closet and don’t use it, that’s a problem.

its money that could be better spent on building memories…or more tequila, and you might not remember everything but everyone else will…😉

magiusX26 · Answer

depends on how much income you bring in. for argument's sake, lets say all you have in the pic is $3000 worth but you only have income of $2000 (both within a month) then yes its a spending problem. on the other hand, lets say your monthly income is $10000, then no its not a spending problem. it comes down to your budgetary needs.

As long as that is not making you suffer in other areas or it is not putting you in debt, i would love to be in your shoes. LEGO is my fantasy. Just last weekend I was at a large LEGO store and looked at each set like an 8 yr old child who wished he could have all of them.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

If you can afford it and you have room for it and you use it, then it's not a problem. There are people who dine at restaurants 8 times a week so they probably spend the same amount on their eating hobby that you do on your art hobby.

slatyb · Answer

Can't tell. Are you in debt? Is your home cluttered with things you purchased but didn't really enjoy? None of those things appear particularly expensive. You don't have to get a lot of entertainment from a $20 purchase for it to be worthwhile.

HarryS98 · Answer

Unreal collection but yeah you probably do ahaha, as long as it’s not stopping you from being able to afford necessary things don’t worry too much about it and do what makes you happy

The standard my wife and I use is 'so long as you can meet your obligations to the household the rest is yours'.

MementoMori777 · Answer

Depends on the money income, more money means more spending, it's just the way it is, who doesn't wish to have the biggest Lego sets 😂

Sparkie460 · Answer

If you just throw them in a closet and never look at them again, yes you have a problem. If you use them it's not a problem.

NathanDavis · Answer

if you enjoyed each of them... then is not a problem, lol

kellytheman · Answer

boobliker · Answer

DrKrieger · Answer

Everyone needs hobbies, I'd say you'd only have an issue if you choose hobby spending over life necessities

RHK36 · Answer

It's a hobby, nothing wrong with that as long as you aren't struggling financially.

Goofy9009 · Answer

Yes a slight problem. I have a slight problem with money

Iron_Man · Answer

Well, if you think you do get professional help if not, you’ll end up broke

Guanfei · Answer

The only problem you have is that I'm mad at you for not inviting my to build all of these.

AydenHazor · Answer

Spending problem or Lego problem? It's only a problem if you think it is

Kathy1983 · Answer

Yes especially on Cheeper stuff. I tend to be more mindful when it’s expensive.

Guardian45 · Answer

Hmmmm. I think I agree. But you have to look at it in context. Is this your hobby?

Spending, somewhat. Buying unwanted stuff, yes. We all have bad habit or two.
