Is having to much "stuff" the problem ?

There is a big pyschology about getting into debt. We're not in any real debt, yet:
1) Four computers: IT is my work so I know how to get things done cheaply.
2) Three cars: Learnt what to look for in old cars so purchased wisely. One of them (52 plate) was bought when a year old.
3) Did have an old one, but hate them.
4) Four MP3 player thingies. Like (1), technology is in the family everywhere.
5) Two satnav units and on mobiles.
6) Four contract mobiles all on cashback offers.
7) Four TVs. 1 plasma, 1 TFT, 1 via computer, 2 normal small ones
8) Two laptops, plus PDAs.
9) NO. Hate consoles. Play games on computers.
10) Download everything.
11) Freeview does fine.
12) Three digital cameras, plus 3 film ones.
13) No. Doing the dishes is time out.0 -

But as a lot of people said, you still manage to get yourself in a pickle. We have but not anywhere near as many people we know.
Thankfully we are now in a very tight budget, but it's well worth it.:A Tomorrow's just another day - keep smiling0
