Every time i buy a new tool i get a small rush of happiness but it is fleeting. Then shortly after i start looking for the next tool to buy. How do i overcome this? I really don't need any more tools at this point.

You're just gonna have to be a little down in the dumps for a while until your dopamine produce levels off again.

And then you have to open a machine museum.
And then people start GIVING you machines, and you can hire people to help you repair and show other people the machines, and then after hours before you turn off the lights for the night you can bask in your thousands of machines and laugh at god

Buying new stuff is always fun. Doesn't need to be tools. Toss some old crap in your place and buy new nicer ones. Thatll feel good

I'm not quite to this point yet, but I have been given quite a bit of stuff over the years. I think most people are just glad it's not getting scrapped or re-sold...
