I've been putting off needed purchases for days, even weeks, since I retired. In some ways, that might be a good thing - many purchases are unnecessary, and delaying a purchase might result in deciding not to buy.
But, that's not what's happening here - these are purchases I've already thought about, decided were worth the cost, and had put on an order.
Only to hang there, in that online cart, for weeks. I'm finding infinite reasons to NOT make a decision to buy.
This type of behavior is new to me, since I've been retired. When I could count on an income twice a month coming from work, I didn't do this. I didn't hesitate to make immediate purchases. There was always a surplus in the account, and I felt free to dip into it.
