In general, I am the sort of person who does not waste money. When making a big purchase, I usually save up and pay for it outright, rather than borrowing money and buying it right away.
There are exceptions when the ADHD side of me takes over and behaves impulsively. Let’s not mention that here though.

About 20 years ago at work, my colleagues could hardly believe it when they discovered I was still using a 14" computer monitor at home — it was the same one I purchased 11 years earlier.
