I'm the same way. I have very expensive taste in stuff, but refuse to buy it. Been that way since i was a little kid.
Even when my parents had money (like a lot of money...i had a personal shopper at neiman marcus at age 3, lol), I used to argue with my mom about price. I'd tell her i didnt want her buying something because i thought it was too much. Or, if she insisted, I'd work it so I could get two things for the sam eprice as the one, so I felt a little better (i.e. was getting more for the money). I still do it to this day if she takes me shopping. We get into so many arguments because she wants tbuy em something (say, $50 shoes for example) and I'll argue with her how I don't really "need" them, etc. etc.
I just can't make myself spend the money. Hell, I am still wearing a lot of clothes from high school, lol.
the most expensive stuff i own is all gifts.
Now, as far as buying stuff for other people, well, as long as I can remotely afford it, then the sky is the limit. I love getting people I care about expensive/nice stuff
So, I totally understand
