I have a problem that I love to buy new and expensive stuff but then I get sick of it in a few days or even the next and I want something new. This is really a bad habit and it's really bad and I'm wasting all my money cause of it. Anybody have any helpful suggestions??? I'm thinking its a mental problem but I'm not sure.

Sounds like you are addicted to shopping. One idea is to find a "buddy" or buddies that you can call when you have this urge. Come up with a list of OTHER things which you also like to do, and get a buddy to do them with you. ANy thing other than blowing your dough on unnecessary stuff. You may also be searching for a high, or a thrill or even meaning in life. IT AIN"T THERE! Consider some ways to self introspect, like reading, like developing good friendships, like even finding a decent therapist. No harm in all of these.
Good luck. Oh, and do NOT leave the house with a lot of cash or withyour credit cards on your person! This will slow the urges down as well.

You need to stop buying new stuff and live with what you got and eventually you'll realize you don't need the new expensive stuffâ¥
