    Default Buyer's Nerves

    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

    Smile I love fairtrade chocolate...

    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.

    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    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.

    I get this all the time because I impulsively spend my money on things I only slightly want.

    I only get nervous if it's a gift for someone because I'm afraid they might not like it =[

    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

    once I spent $60 on a watch that was crappy. I vowed to never make stupid un-researched purchases again.
