It also hurts because your stuff depreciates it, but when you look at it, you remember what you paid for it, and when you sell it for a loss you feel like a sucker.

My other motto is buy Apple at $8, sell at $9 and watch 10 years later when it's $180.

Actually, if you factor in two stocks splits (in 2000 and 2005) over the past 10 years, Apple's stock price is really around $180 * 4 = $720 per share.

That explains it all. If it wasn't so hot outside, I could store my unnecessarily large amount of chips in that car that has been sitting in my driveway for a year that doesn't run. The car would be in my garage, but my garage is full of more crap that I don't want to get rid of .

Researchers also noted that its easier to get rid of your old chips when buying new ones, as long as both transactions take place in a short amount of time. The farther apart the transactions, the more likely you are to keep both sets.

Ok, ok, I'm the researcher

Ouch. That's a lot of salt to rub in a wound.
