This thought was triggered by Staysfit's post on sticking to a shopping budget http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ing-budget. A few people mentioned shopping to relieve boredom, or for other emotional reasons like staving off depression. I'm not sure that I do that, or have ever done that (trying things on that don't fit -- because things often don't fit! -- would just depress me even more, lol), but one thing I sure am guilty of is procrastinating by internet browsing. At times, this is a real problem. I do a lot of work on the computer, and it's so easy and tempting to check out the websites I like, and ogle the pretty clothes and footwear instead of working on something that's difficult. I almost never actually buy anything online, although I'll sometimes make a note of items I like so I can try them on in a real shop, if we have one here.

It's not money I'm wasting. It's time -- the one resource that is absolutely irreplaceable.
