Donāt feel bad I bought an Apple Watch SE a laptop and a entire game room with a 70ā inch Vizio TV, LED lights, Xbox Series X, Futon, and Bean Bags did I need it? No, but do I have siblings who are bored at home when I go off to my university due to my parents working so much to get them what they need so I took some money out of my savings and spent on a game room for them and to get my self a new faster laptop and upgrade my Apple Watch series 3 to an SE I donāt feel guilty because I know I was going to do all of that eventually and rather than argue with myself I went ahead and did it. So far I enjoy my Apple Watch SE and new laptop here at college and I got a few pictures showing that my family enjoyed the game room while Iām away, to this day they are still taking full advantage of that game room.

The challenge is controling impusive behavior and it's something I've been struggling with. But if you have a budget every month and keep to it, you need and should have times of rewarding yourself. But you feel guilty because it's you trying to be careful with your spending. I think you should come up with a budget system either monthly, 6 months or every year where you have money to spend on things like fun clothes comfortably. Life is too short and you need to have the ability to reward yourself for simply making it through life.

Why guilty $300 for laptop is cheap. I spent $1000+ on my pc but yeah Iām a gamer so.. I mean itās not a waste if you truly needed it, ex you donāt have one or is not working well, otherwise Iād feel guilty too lol but yeah you know you have 14 days time to return the item (preferred sooner than better) in case you feel bad about it lol. The item just needs to be like new, no issues, no damage. Thats what I did with keyboard I ordered and didnāt end up liking. I just sent it back and they gave me the money back.

It is called buyer's remorse. I have it too. I rarely and I mean very rarely ever buy anything for myself that isn't needed to survive. When I do even tho I have more than enough money to buy it and all my bills are paid I still have this really guilty feeling after I buy it. But it goes away. Honestly, it didn't really have to be really expensive just if it gives me any type of pleasure. My ex had a huge issue with me never buying things for myself. She believed that I deserved to get myself something nice but that damn buyer's remorse kept getting in the way.

Isabel I trust that you know how to handle your finances and that you best know what you need and what is a sensible purchase. So out of your poll choices I would think it's probably conditioning that makes you feel guilty.
Having said all that, there are occasions when even a not-absolutely-necessary purchase is legitimate simply because you want to do something for yourself. And there's nothing wrong with that as long as you're not spending your rent or grocery money.
So I just really hope you get a lot of good use out of your new laptop and that you enjoy it.
🙋āāļø😊10 Reply you deserve it love, you deserve to treat yourself. if that means getting yourself a damn laptop, good for you. don't feel guilty about it. and also, you might feel guilty cause you aren't use to spending much on you or people around you have just made you conditioned to feel like that. ā”

$300 on a laptop? Thatās like £200. Thatās pretty cheap for a laptop. Iād be feeling good about such a bargain. I spend at least £700 or $1000 USD on a laptop. I feel like the more you spend on tech, the better the quality. Iād rather save and invest in something good.
There is no need to feel bad unless spending on unnecessary things. If something is necessary then it has to be bought.10 Reply - +1 y
You feel guilty because a male blow up doll with real pubic hair wasn't a necessary purchase 🤔

You where conditioned to feel that way.
That or you know you couldn't afford it - which then is a bigger problem.
When I buy something expensive I usually feel bad if it's something I fear will have a flaw and can't be fixed, so I am doubtful of quality - even if most people review the product as great, if 1 person says something bad it plants a seed of doubt that I can't shake.
Maybe that is something that resonates with you as well? Depending on what you bought.00 Reply - +1 y
I think it's buyers remorse.
I'd probably get the same TBH, especially if I made an expensive purchase.
I think a Laptop is probably worth it TBH, assuming you get a lot of use out of it.10 Reply - +1 y
No I donāt do it all the time itās not like I wrack you credit call bills but every know and then I give myself a gift. I think itās important if it makes you feel good. Especially for moms I see them spoil their kids And never spoil themselves.

If it's not an essential purchase, there is generally a tendency to have remorse afterwards. $300.00 for a laptop doesn't sound like a lot. If you truly needed it to be more productive, don't feel guilty.
10 Reply Never if i spend a huge amount I've wanted that thing like really wanted it and need it. Even if I'm going to throw it to gather dust later on i gave a gift to myself because i deserve it. That's what i tell myself and move on.
10 Reply724 opinions shared on Shopping & Gifts topic. I just bought a brand new truck (well , it was a year and a half ago but it has less than 5000 miles on it) and I still feel guilty even though I needed a new truck and I bought it at the end of the year and got a really good deal on it.
10 ReplyOkay so now you have me curious what did you buy I'm the same way I never buy myself anything and here pretty soon I think I'm just going to have to I call it an attitude adjustment
10 ReplyDon't feel bad. Buying a laptop is a practical option so the expense should be worthwhile. As it can give you long term benefit.
10 ReplyWhether or not you should feel guilty depends on what the item is and how often you will be using it.
10 ReplyI think because you like to save and thatās ok! Sometimes it doesnāt hurt to spend that much depending upon of course. Iāve felt guilty for buying shoes at $180
10 ReplyThe real question is if you could afford it. If it's in your budget, and it won't cause stress with other bills, then I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes we have to splurge on ourselves.
10 ReplyMaybe you didn't budget it in and feel like you needed the money for something else.
