I think I'm done.

I think my fever is lessening and I should be okay by the end of the week. Given enough time I usually talk myself out of anything. Has to be really good for me to take the leap. Guess that's why I proposed to my wife on our third date over 46 years ago.

I usually try to sleep on the big stuff.
That usually gives me time to talk myself out of it.

But every once in a while I come across something
that I just have to have.
Then all bets are off!

It'a good thing that retirement income doesn't afford me the opportunity to just rush out and buy the guns I want when I want or I'd be up to my ears in them. Many times I've backed off a pistol or rifle I thought I really wanted while I was saving for it. Once I was really passionate about buying a M1 Carbine. Then one day I picked up a brand new 580 Mini 14 ranch rifle. The passion for the M1 carbine left the first time I shot the mini14. I absolutely love those new Mini's.

They say the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. So here goes... My Name is Popeye and I'm a gunaholic and I have to stop this nonsense of buying guns I do not need. Ok now that I have that off my shoulders. I'm on my way to the GS and to Wally World to buy large quanties of various sizes of ammo and cleaning supplies.Cause I'ma gonna need them. No more rifles or pistols will be left unshot. I'm going to sistematically rotate shooting them as suggested in an earlier reply.

That's part of my problem.
I've got about 11 years to go for retirement.
I'm near my max income.
Finally completed all my child support obligations.
And I've had a belly full of bad girlfriends and wives.
Don't want any part of that anymore.

So I actually have money

So I actually have money

What's that feel like, is it something you can describe.

I'd like to experience it someday.

Well it's like having three credit cards with zero balances.
Multiple savings accounts.
401K and and an IRA.
No car or house payments.
No alimony or child support.
No outstanding loans of any kind.

Just money, money, money.
And I sleep like a baby....

[Bawanna]

I guess it's too huge to comprehend. None of those thing remotely apply to me.

I'm happy for you though.

[doc540]

I've felt that way from time to time.

This something like this pops up for $150.

I mean, come on, how can one resist??

[Bawanna]

Resistance would be futile in that particular case for sure, at least for me and apparently for you as well. We both agree so it must be the right thing to do. Right?

That's what I meant when I mentioned in the original post.
I think I might be done buying guns unless something really special comes along with a price tag to match.

Always seems like when your not looking that's when the deals search you out.

Ah,
so it's really a veiled attempt at reverse psychology.
You want something bad!!! LOL

[mightymouse]

Yeah...I'm done after every purchase of every addiction, vice, and collection.
Part of the therapy or relief from guilt for a bit.
When you can say, years later:
Hi I'm state your name, I'm a XXXX-aholic, its been many years since my last firearm purchase, or whatever, then you are on your way.
Good luck, as its a tough one!

I'm thinking here at KahrTalk, where everyone knows your name,
breaking that addiction could be futile.

For me,
classic S&W revolvers today are like hot brunettes a few years ago -
irresistible.
