I just bought myself a new laptop. I'm sure it'll be great, since I got to pick the parts to go into it, but I still have jitters since paying $1000 is a lot of money at my age! Hoping for the best! :flounder:
Do you get buyer's nerves often?

All the time. Whenever I spend a large amount of money on anything non-essential I have to think for ages about whether or not it's worth the purchase. It's not even that I can't afford the stuff, it's just that I keep thinking about all the other stuff I could be buying with the money and whether or not that'd be more satisfying. With the £200 I spend on a new games console, I could buy seven or eight games for one I already have, for instance. God knows how long it'll take me to finally decide on something big like a car. xD
Always! To the point where I spend about 5 hours on the internet to research everything before I buy anything over 50pounds.
Just like Cz, its not actually stuff I cant afford either, well apart from my TV.
With my TV, I spent 4 months of searching!!! But that didnt do me any good because I just got lucky with Amazon in the end (wrong price tag for a few days, bought it on just the right day ^^).
It still made me broke though :(
I'm gonna buy a $1800 computer tomorrow. But it's the third time I've done so.. so not really.
I don't buy many things ( Being a child and having no money....)
The things I do buy are fairtrade Chocolate bars, Lucozade energy drinks and when I DO go to the town center I buy a game and perhaps somethings else.
So "Buyers Nerves" is not a problem for me.
I don't buy much seeing as I don't have any money. But I often get buyers remorse when I spend all the money I actually manage to get my hands on. It sucks. I like having spare money in my wallet or bank account just in case.
I don't get nervous before purchase as much as I get remorseful after purchase.
I regret spending money often, especially on things I really don't need when I should be buying things like gasoline.
Same here. I really should be saving up my money for important things but I always end up blowing it all anyway. I can't feel too bad though, cus the things I buy are always very cool.Quote:

Me too! As someone who likes to own stuff just for the sake of owning it, not that I'm some rabid collector who keeps his toys in mint condition. I mean if I can't take them out and have them fly around going Pew Pew what's the point of having toys? So, yeah I get worried after I buy stuff. But I figure as long as I don't go over 50 USD I shouldn't get to bent out of shape.Quote:

I get that too celes, Thing is, im often so out of pocket I can't AFFORD a gift...
I hate wasting money. I have made many returns.
I kinda got nervous yesterday at jc penny's buying some pants, but it turned out that they fit really well so it worked out fine.
I know, right? That happens to me too. I think I really want it but once I leave I'm like "well... this sucks, I wish I had that 20 dollars back." and usually I'm too lazy to return to the store :pQuote:
