I'm substantially concerned with the fact that I would like more fucking suits.

I have a gluttonous appetite for clothing, shoes, watches, cuff links, fragrances, and other accessories but I understand that I cannot buy everything I like. Ogling at various fine items posted on the fora helps satiate my thirst to a great extent. To me it's not about possessing everything I covet but it's about learning and knowing about the wonderful and endless variety that exists in the sartorial world.

Some concern. Had to answer yes to a couple of questions though, not because they're 100% accurate, but because there was no option to choose something inbetween. Like the question where they asked if you've ever bought something you couldn't afford. Stupid question. Where's "I could use my money on something else, but I really wanted this and who needs food anyways?"

The questions about "bought something you couldn't afford" and "has this ever affected your relationships" are actually some of the more important questions, from a psychological perspective. Psychology draws a lot of very critical distinctions between compulsive behavior and addiction at the point where the behavior becomes destructive. A compulsion becomes an addiction when it not only can't be controlled, but significantly interferes with the person's life, relationships, etc. If you compulsively buy things you can't actually pay for, that's part of an addiction. If you just buy a lot of shit that you regret, and it adds up over time, but it doesn't destroy your life or your finances, that's just unfortunate impulse control.
