I'm a big "shopper" and not typical guy stuff either.... I like shopping for clothes, etc... .
If my wife says "hey we need curtains for the new house" I AM ALL OVER THAT..... I think I have good taste, and I think I take pride in the actual accomplishment of finding the good deal, good quality, etc... (that was the most recent example!)
Example:
I go to the home depot to pick up a mask for painting/finishing dry-wall etc.... and I end up spending 45 minutes there because I get side-tracked looking at all sorts of other things, thinking about what "projects" I can do!!!!
That's the other thing with me.... I spend a LOT of time shopping... but not so much time actually BUYING.... Shopping, really is an affordable way to pass time... buying is an expensive way!
I don't go into debt though, and I work, my wife works, and we like nice things.... shopping is actually smart..... buying without researching is dumb....
