Do you feel really guilty when you spend money on things you dont need?

[Tao 8,845]

Hmmmmm at times.  I mean things like food or "needed" things is a no i might say :

• Like I'll let  myself buy a book once a month 
• Birthday:  one item I want a year and its GOT  to be something I want 
• Shoes: I walk between 4-10 miles a day in my job at times so its a "must"
• Yes to point but I also don't live beyond my "means" I keep track of all my spend from miles i drive and gas and food prices, plan my meals,  do food banks and etc.
• I shop 2ed 3/4 of my time

Somewhat.

I don't buy many things impulsively, but I do sometimes have a problem with wanting to buy the absolute best of something when I need a version of that specific thing (and a much cheaper alternative will do). I'm experiencing this dilemma currently: I'm selling my car due to a slow-fault with the dual clutch transmission and will get quite a good price for it, and am debating either getting something cheap and reliable that'll enable me to save about half (or maybe more) of what I'll sell my current one for, or to put in the same value of the car again to buy something more expensive.

Yes, I think the most useless thing i ever bought was cosmetics for my Roblox avatar.

I don't usually feel guilty but I do feel regret, like I think back to that moment later on and I'm like "I could have used that money now why!"

[Clawdeen 20,241]

Hahaha no. If anything I feel bad I can't buy more things I don't need lol. 

[Cash In 23,029]

It depends, but sometimes I feel a little bit guilty. I try not to dwell on it though.

Always, even if it's something I've been eyeing for a while. Even if it's something I DO need I just hate spending money. At least that means I'm pretty careful about my purchases so they're almost always things I enjoy having around.

[Megas 28,081]

I never feel bad for buying things I want or like. I do feel regret though if I don’t get any satisfaction from it 

[Valynne 2,739]

Yeah, at first then I simply give it away to others

[Clawdeen 20,241]

Nah I’m sure by continually buying things I don’t need I’ll fill that void in my chest. 

Or make it bigger but if I make it bigger that means I can buy more things to fill it with

So it all works out

[Snoopy Fan 7,799]

Yes, I especially felt guilty when I bought my PS5.

[Gun Metal Zebra 2,342]

I don't, but I also have my finances under control: even when I buy something I don't really need, I still have plenty of money in the bank afterward. I built up my credit score largely by purchasing things I could get with cash on a credit card, and paying off the balance in full every month.

I don't feel guilty about spending my money. Most of the money I spend is on my hobby which is computers/tech. Luckily I don't overspend and I always have some money leftover.

[OverTheStars 318]

Sometimes, especially since I'm not working currently (hopefully that'll change once summer comes), but luckily a lot of the things I like to spend money on are usually pretty cheap.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,501]

It depends on a few things.

Is this something expensive or cheap? If it is cheap, then I see no harm in getting it if my financial situation is stable.

if expensive:

Is this something I wanted for a long time, and saved appropriately for?

If I have wants, then are my needs first being met? Are my bills on time? 
 

If I buy this thing, can I stop myself from buying more and more stuff?

 

If all of these answers are Yes, then I don’t feel guilt for what I purchased

Yes...

[Clawdeen 20,241]

Buying things I don't need makes me happy 

[Astralshy 29,185]

No, I don't feel guilty about that
