Is overthinking big purchases normal?

[SillyMari]

So I'm just wondering is it normal to always overthink buying something that one might classify as a big purchase? Like for me right now I keep having doubt about purchasing a few things I want like a waffle maker, Alarm clocks, microwave and even a toaster..

I am having so many thoughts like what if the microwave isn't the right wattage or if its way to big..

For the other stuff I worry it might be a waste of money being I might not use it as often..

This kind of overthinking has lead me to cancelling my online order for the stuff like 4 times now being completely unsure about it entirely.

I just wanna know does everyone have this issue when buying stuff or is it just me?

It’s definitely normal to some degree, weighing up whether it’s worth the money or not, trying to figure out if you’ll use the item often enough to justify buying it, etc. But I don’t think it’s normal to order an item and then cancel it over and over. Make the decision to buy it or not, and then once you’ve bought it, stick to your decision.

Wow your idea of a big purchase isn't the same as mine. I have been over thinking on a new vehicle for over a year now. A microwave or a toaster would be a small purchase in my opinion.

Your phone is an alarm clock. If you are questioning the purchase it was probably not necessary. If you have a toaster you don't need a waffle maker.

But frozen waffles don't usually taste the same as homemade ones...
