how much do you keep and how much do you sell?

[trdhrdr007]

Lots of different ways to do things. I'm semi-retired and supplement my income by buying for resale. I run that like a business with a separate account. If I buy with that account it gets resold. If I want something for myself I buy it with my personal disposable money. I know a lot of people that buy and flip enough to pay for what they keep. I know other people that use their disposable income to buy things as an investment. I also know people that buy things they like when they find a great deal just for the satisfaction of having the item. Nothing wrong with any of those strategies. On the flip side, it can become a huge problem when you buy a lot of stuff you can't really afford because you think it's worth more than you paid......& then keep it.

I think my real problem is I enjoy shopping soooooo much more than selling. And I use shopping as a comfort. When I get stressed, I shop. Which runs up my bills which stresses me more.

That said, I do have a gorgeous collection of things that give me a lot of pleasure! One of the hardest choices I make each morning after ... What do I want to wear today? is ... Which piece of jewelry do I want to wear today? LOL. Should be my worst problem, right?

That sounds EXACTLY like my wife! except along with what do I wear today? and which pieces of jewelry do I wear, there is also which handbag goes with what I have on!
