Call your credit card companies and ask them to lower your limit to, say, $10. That'll keep ya from buying those big ticket items!

I've been fortunate in that I've been able to get a lot of my gear for "free." I work in IT, and I frequently get to take online IT surveys that pay me cash. I also joined an online "points" program that earns me gift cards and such. I've probably gotten about $300 worth of gear this way. I probably shouldn't mention these programs directly here, but if you PM me, I can give you the info. Nothing shady about them, trust me.

Despite this, I still spend enough of my regular income on PB stuff, much to my wife's chagrin. I buy something and I think to myself "I'm all set; don't need anything else." HA! Something else soon comes along. Or one purchase just leads to another "need." HELP!
