May I have a stupid question? As I say, it`s a sort of stupid question. (Please don`t judge me rather than you can just ignore this if you don`t want to be involved to anything about foolish.) What I am thinking is whether to buy something which is not necessarily needed for an purpose but more like about what I need near future as a hubby. But the stuff I am considering to buy is extreamly cheaper in here I am but so expensice in a country where I am moving to so it makes me thingking a lot if it`s better idea to get them now. It`s because the stuff is not essential I need for but also it`s something enjoyable as a hobby, which means I would never use them either unless I have spare time to dig in. Oh man, I know it`s silly but is there anyone to have got a silmilar experience? If you are the one, what did you do? Would it be just money waste?

There's no right answer. It would help if you told us what kind of thing you are getting and how big the price difference is. Storing, shipping, and moving are difficult. Things get lost, broken, forgotten. There may be duty to pay if you bring them into another country. My feeling is that if you KNEW you loved this hobby, you would be finding time for it NOW. To spend money on a hobby you don't even know you like and don't know if you will have time for seems risky. Personally I wouldn't buy it unless a) I were 90% sure of using it, b) it was something small and easy to pack, and c) the price in my own country was SO cheap that I really wouldn't mind it if it turned out to be a waste of money. And if someone was trying to SELL me something by saying "it could be a great hobby for you someday, buy it here where it's cheap" I would NOT listen. Don't buy it if it is SOMEONE ELSE'S idea.
