I think that impulse buying is a big part of the issue. However, it's not all impulse. I meticulously research all of my purchases before buying them. I compare to alternative products. I know every detail about what something can do before I buy it.
This thread isn't really a cry for help or anything like that. It's meant more as a humorous observation of something I deal with daily.

Getting married and responsibility of a family certainly cut down on my purchases but I still buy gadgets for technology reasons. I have a bigger collection that you but it is because I don't get rid of older things and am older than you. I still have my original Commodore Pet, my HP21 calculator and countless others but I do not buy the same thing over and over like 4 different eBook readers. I will likely buy another one but only after the current one is a bit older.
