"It was only X amount, how could I pass that up?"

even a penny on something useless is still a waste IMO, my MIL uses that line all the time when she buys something that doesn't fit...though in her defense she has the money to waste.

On the constant car payment, my FIL believes that as well, he figures once you pay off a car (or if you buy in cash) you should be saving the same car payment for the next one, and/or for repairs...but he isn't talking about always buying a new car or anything.
