<prompt> Human: I realized that have a major problem. I tend to buy things not necessarily because I want or need them, but because of fear of missing out. I think this might have come from growing up in poverty and now I have transitioned to middle class. For example, Im always on deal websites slickdeals, etc. and keep wanting the next big thing. I have a 4k TV that I got on black friday in 2015, but now that HDR is out...I FOMO and want to upgrade my not even two years old tv. I have a PS4 but want the PRO because it gives some games better performance. I buy a lot of things on clearance even if its not needed just in case. I have 5k in credit card debt because of this.Any tips on dealing with FOMO to prevent me from unnecessarily spending?  <response>: i grew up in poverty and took that as a lesson to NEVER be in that position again.you are not taking your lesson of poverty... instead you are living a life of poverty.
