I am 52 years old, I am in pretty good shape, and I have no health issues. I am certainly not expecting to pass away anytime soon .
In the past couple of years, an interesting thing has begun to happen. I am purchasing things in “lifetime supplies” when I can.
It started with #78 drill bits, I bought 1,000 of them at once because I never wanted to buy them again.
I purchased 200 DPDT toggle switches when I had a chance to buy them in bulk. That should do it.
When it comes to power tools now, I am buying good decent quality in the hopes I never need to replace it again.
The list just goes on and on… and I have only been doing this for a short time.
Is this something normal, or is it a sign of hoarding.
No, I am not buying toilet paper or other household items like this, just durable goods, and things I used to replace fairly often.
And the hobby items… I have all the freight car kits I could ever build in a lifetime now, as well as craftsman structure kits and other items.
Is this just getting ready to retire? I might be retired already.
Is anyone else doing this?
