This hits home for me. I have been an avid impulsive buyer in the past. And just asking myself 'Will I have any use of it a few years from now?' Has really helped me cut down on my buys. Like the article states, it is so easy to get suckered into buying things for the life you want versus your current needs. The whole marketing scheme has shifted from ' here, use this useful thing that you can pass down to grandkids' to ' easy disposable thing that'll make life easier/fun'.
