I have a special interest in technology and video games, specifically old technology, and if it wasn't for my brain needing to rationalise every purchase I make like "if you buy this, how will you use it? isn't this too similar to this other tech thing?" like I have games on my computer but the only one I really play all that much on there is The Sims 3 cause it doesn't feel 100% right to play games like Undertale on the device I primarily use to draw and code and stuff.
Like for example: I saw this cute Polaroid camera today that looked so cool (it's a little budget one not designed for pros) but I was planning on buying a keitai to replace my smart phone and that has a camera. Not a great one but a camera nonetheless and I wouldn't call myself a photographer so I had to sit down and look through Google Photos to see what kinds of photos I take on my phone, and then write a list on the kinds of photos the polaroid should be used for (proper photos with effort that i would be fine with putting on my wall) and the keitai camera should be for photos like schoolwork, and photos I took to be used in a Tumblr or Bluesky post cause they're digital and not that important so it makes sense.
I wanna get into 3DS collecting but I already have a 3DS that works well so I can't justify to myself on buying like 6 others just to have displayed in some kind of home museum. I also wanna collect some old consoles, primarily the PS3 and PSVita, but then I thought the latter would make more sense considering a lot of PS3 games were ported to the vita and it's also portable. idk I'm still on the fence about that.
I mean, yeah rigid thinking sucks when you're in a bad mood that entire week cause the specific kind of ham you put in your weekly sandwiches was out of stock so you had to buy the other kind instead, but it's very good for saving money, especially if you're like me and get wayyy to emotionally attached to pretty much everything you own.
