I think so.  I've noticed that for me, buying Lego begets more buying.  It is
almost addictive.  There have been times recently when I have bought 3 or more
sets over a weekend, but nonetheless, the next time I'm in a store I find myself
looking for more.  I have to make a point of reminding myself that I need to be
satisfied with what I have.  It isn't even about overspending myself; I rarely
do that in regards to Lego; rather, it is an issue of being a contented person.
The drawback to the Lego hobby is that enough seems to never be enough.
(Although it is nice to have enough pieces to do justice to a big project.)
