I'm the worst nightmare of any society based on heavy consumption of goods and/or services. Seriously. I never buy anything, mostly because I never seem to feel like buying anything I don't absolutely need. Computer hardware and software is likely the only exception, and I tend to only buy it when absolutely needed (for example, when tired of using a 300W PSU that randomly fails and might catch fire), reluctantly at that. I use a CD-RW instead of a USB memory stick because the latter would have cost me $15~$20 for a 128MB. I'll admit I might be a bit greedy, but that doesn't account for everything. Often I'll get stuff as gift and, while it might be nice stuff, I'm not too excited since I feel I don't need it. "Buying" just doesn't seem to be something I even consider doing if I don't already have a reason to do so. For example, I might buy a game if it seems nice, often after a little, uhm, "pre-testing", but never go to a store just because I have money to spend.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
