(intentionally taking this to third person)

If somebody has this problem, he should really work on self 
discipline/control, IMO. I would suggest he stop spending any money except the 
real necessities (food, bills mainly).

Myself, I tend to make one or two non-necessity purchases a year, max.

My newest computer is an Athlon64 3200+ from 3 or 4 years ago, and it has 
worked fine up until recently (dead PSU), with no need for a new machine. And 
the interesting part is that I don't really even need it-- I do most 
everything on my 1 GHz laptop. Anyhow, this is my view on necessities. :)
