To buy or not to buy?

I normally think thoroughly before I purchase anything especially if the item is a little expensive. If i really like the item, I would save or do some part time jobs to buy the item..

hi liena , i am just like u i cant decide on what is needy and luxury i am quite impulsive buyer . Although i dont have much money but recently i had bought nokia e75 which was never planned . i am person who regret after buying things . i do not plan my shopping but if i like something i would buy , which is a very bad habit . i hope i am able to work within my budget cheers

nope, i am pretty frugal when it comes to buying. i seldom buy anything unless i need it (unless it is a craft item!) for most things, i shop at thrift stores (you never know what you will find there!)

I only get stuff when i really need it. I also love collecting stuff but of course,i have to use the money for important things.

When I was younger, I bought just about everything I wanted. Now I'm in the downsizing mode and selling just about everything I thought I wanted when I was younger.

That is because we are human. We have unlimited wants.. as for me my addiction is also buying shoes and clothes especially when there is the red tag (on sale!) on it. I kept telling myself that I will never buy clothes anymore this year because I already have more than enough to wear. But then.. I always ended up carrying a bag from my favorite shop.. ESPRIT.

It is all up to you if you are going to purchase it or not. A few things you need to remember. One, if you need to save up for something important then do not buy it for now. Second, if you do not have like emergency funds for like a 12 month period, it would be best to save up first then buy stuff later on. You'll never know what will happen this year or the next coming years. But if you have all the money and just like to splurge on one thing then go ahead.

i used be like that before, buy things i want since my money is just mine and dont have any responsibility in life. then all of a sudden everything change. my laptop, jewelries and other expensive gadgets even money was gone coz someone took them inside my room. and on the same year, i lost my job and got prgnant then the guy also left me. last year was my worst year for me. they said its because of my birthday. my birthday actually is september 09, and last year is 2009 that make 09/09/09 which can also be read upside down as 666. the worst of the worst year for me. i know some dont believe it but i do now coz of what happened to me. my sister used to tell me before to put my money in bank and save it than buy things pecially if i dont really need it, those gadgets, bags and shoes, signature dresses and etc. and now i just realize it. only if i save the money then perhaps i cn already start a business of my own and have a lot of money where i can buy more things i want at least i already have stable income from business. but i didnt listen to my sis before.

There are somes thing I have bought only being used several times.When I go shopping,I can't help buying some things out of my original list.Because I think them will be useful in my life.So I buy something because I think I will use it in the future. Not be attracted by a luxury,or you will regret.This is what I live by.

I don't have a lot of money so I only buy things when it is really necessary. If I want to buy something that I just want, I need to save for it first. Heck it took me 3 months just to get myself an iphone.

When shopping is involved my first thought will be clothes,bags and shoes.But i have specific time to buy those,first i am making my self a limitations to spend more for that,especially if not necessary to have it at the moment.

If you really look deep into the heart of the subject you'll see that there is no point of buying anything or possessing an asset because you are not going to take anything with us after we pass away.But the crude fact is that our demand grows with the position we hold either in society or at workplace and it comes from the conception of status.If we see a beautiful flower on some tree,we wish that we'd have a tree like that in our garden.Do you call it a luxury?May be,because without the tree in your garden you have already passed so long without the knowledge that such a kind of tree may ever exist.So it depends how you want to define your need.Based on that you decide whether to buy something.

to understand objectives to buy or not to buy are first we need to understand how their values and goals affect their buying habits. second is gain and understanding of basic economics, including the infulence of supply, demand, and the price of goods and services. the third thing is gain experiance in comparing and selecting product in the marketplace that may or may not include the use of credit and the forth is to understand their rights and responsibilites as consumers.

I used to be like that, and i buy whatever I want, but then one day I realized how important money is and that I can't buy everything i want. That I should only buy the ones I Need. I realized that I could use the money to buy something more useful ans is really needed. For you case, I think you should not fall for your feeling of wanting that thing. You see new gadgets come everyday and soon that Blackberry will be off the fad, and then what? you'll buy another one which is on the fad, won't it be a waste of money?

Blackberry mobiles are quite expensive not because they are luxury phones its because they have blackberry services i.e. they can push all the mails from your connected email account directly to ur blackberry so the sets compromise on lots of features that other sets posses at the price point.....so if u really require the blackberry service (which is also quite expensive as for a student like me) than u may buy a blackberry otherwise go for nokia e 72 it looks and feels much better....
