for buying something.

I've been needing a cd player for my car for a while. It's been trippin hard. It will start playing a cd and then later on it will just cut out. It then comes on again when it wants to. It frustrated me.

Yesterday I decided to get a new cd player. I felt so guilty. I was thinking of other things I could do with my money like pay other bills etc. It really made me feel crappy.

I'm over it now and I'm happy with my new cd player but I was going through it for a minute.

...only sayin'.....

buyers remorse. It happens to me now I like to put something in the shopping cart and live with it a while to see how it feels. Often I will put it back after 15 minutes, realizing I don't need it.

I have lived without a cd player in my car since December! I'm thinking i need one now!

I didn't even go all out. I just wanted a basic cd player and that's what I got. It's sounds fine.

My "thing" about shopping is this. If I see something that I'm like "Wow." I pick it up and buy it. If it's something that I have to look at over and over and think about, I just put it down and don't go back to it.

oh yes!

I went and purchased a name chain a few yrs back.
Paid $300. I am NOT a materialistic person whatsoever.
But at the moment I felt I needed. A day after I got it, I felt bad cuz mother's day was a week away. I had no money left and I forgot to get mom a gift

I took that sucka back so fast lol
Bought mom a bracelet with the money.

That hookah wore it ONCE

I don't think a cd player is extravagant. They're pretty cheap nowadays.

I guess it depends. If you're in debt, then you didn't need the cd player. But there are worse ways to waste money. A meal or two costs that much if you're not careful.

oh yeah! i've felt guilty for buying things before...but sometimes you've just got to treat yourself!

Thank you. I'm actually helping a friend move to Vegas and I'm using my car. I would go nuts if my cd player was not working.

kimrachell said:

I like they way you think!

Yes.

Especially when it's mom's money. I need a book bag and I feel ota guilty asking her for one

Only after I had my son.

Before that I never felt guilty. It was all about me, me, me!

Oh hell yeah. I don't know why, but it's hard for me to buy things that I want, but don't necessarily need. I usually end up returning whatever I bought when I start feeling like that.

kimrachell said:

Agreed! As long as you can afford the item you want to get, and not go broke buying it, why not?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

ALL the time.

I cant buy anything and alot of times i dont buy anything cause i fear i will regret it. And its only based on 'what if' or what else i could have used the money for.

hey hon ...you know what? you work damn hard for your money. you deserve to live a little! treat yourself!

and to answer your question, yes most definately I'm in a situation right now I should be saving every single cent I possibly can so every one that I spend that isn't absolutely essential I feel that way

hope you're well
