Does anybody feel guilty when making big purchases?

[BelieveBeOK]

I'm considering buying a new car after getting a promotion and paying off my old one which works just fine but as I'm nearing my 30's I feel like I should get something "bigger" but the guilt is eating me up whenever I look for something online


Everytime I Look at the installments, I tell myself that I would be better off investing that money in a small apartment or something. It just feels so irresponsible.

Anybody else get this feeling? "Big" can be relative too by the way. Doesn't have to be a car can be something like a pair of shoes, PlayStation or whatever.

Buyers remorse

Before you buy anything always ask yourself, do I need it or do I want it. If you want it, don’t buy it unless you got it like that.

No

it just makes me wanna spend more.

Gotta grind harder breh but I do feel you. If your a person who’s responsible with assets, you should look at how you are going to replace that purchase back with money you used.

You didn’t explain the guilt you’re feeling very well

Is the guilt your own or something others have put on you

You work hard for your money, never feel bad for indulging yourself, as long as you take care of your bills, debts, etc.

Exactly, can I afford it? will it impact my finances negatively?

More so me than anything. I live in perpetual fear that I will lose everything one day and not have enough stashed away to get by on. Even though my savings and investments are quite substantial, it just never feels enough.

There is always "more" I could save or something "better" I could invest in.

I would feel guilty buying a new whip in this market unless I needed it as long as I didn’t overspend and I could afford to buy it twice I don’t trip afterwards. My problem is getting myself to spend the money in the first place

Yup. Hate making big purchases. It feels wasteful and I feel like I'm getting taken advantage of...
