Have you ever wanted to buy something so bad but you knew you couldnt afford it?

Yes, of course…many times in fact. Every time I go shopping, I usually carry a list and money according to that and everytime I come across something which I would like to possess but don’t have the money. Just two days back a girl in our office came wearing a cool leather shoe…its so beautiful and soft and has class written all over it AND it was very expensive…well it seems her uncle’s come down from somewhere and he took her shopping…*sign* wish I too had uncles like that

Oh yes, several times. Sometimes I wonder why the ones I like and most wanted are beyond my reach or should I say beyond my wallet? Just to not feeling disappointed, I would buy something else, small and very cheap things like earrings and bracelet accessories.

I've had that experience many many times. I don't have credit card and I often don't have cash to spend for shopping, . Seriously I only have money when it is payroll time cause I gave part of my salary to my mother. I have lots of things that I wanted to buy but I can't afford it even if its 50% off. I love bags and shoes but I really don't buy expensive one, just enough to fit my budget.

If not being able to purchase something hurts you dearly I would suggest to keep away from the shopping malls at least for a bit as it can be very painful. Get the name brand of the shoes and write it down some where, you can go online and find them later. So it may be an excuse to go back to the store and try on a pair so you what size fits comfy. Online later maybe way cheaper. Good luck to you honey, I keep away from any form of window shopping as it depresses me.

yes do that all the time now since i have 2 kids who knew having kids would be so expensive

yes, of course, many times actually ! When ever I go shopping or do it online, I always see something that too expensive for a poor student like me. I force myself not to think about it but I just can't help it. I try to save money too, but then I will see something new that would change my mind. oh, what should I do lol

Hi, Sometimes when I was out for shopping, I do see things that I like,when look at the price, I decided not to buy it.too pricey and not worthy to spend so much money on those things,of course, the quality and the style is so good,but for me, I am not those branded good person,so I just buy those moderate price and as long as it looks nice and feel comfortable with it,then it is fine for me. For your situation...you have to work harder,then when you have enough money ,then you buy the shoes that you like. But firstly think carefully before making any purchase,does you really need that shoes?

Yeah, it happened to me several times. I usually I tend to forget these things after a while though. But if you don't, it might be a sign you really should get them. So if they are still there when you can afford them and you are thinking about them until then, get them by all means!

yes. Right now, I do not have any work so, I wont be able to buy that thing that I want to buy. When I had my previous job, I could buy all that I love to buy. Well, now I am applying again to be able to earn money.. and buy the Sony Bravia 21 inch LCD tv.:)

I have wanted a lot of things in life but there is one thing which I have been asking my husband to get for me since we got married but he has been refusing till now. I have been wanting to buy a treadmill which I can use at home because I dont have time to spend in the gym with my daughter now. I know if I saved for about six months I can afford a normal one but my husband is totally against it. Says it is a total waste of money and that amount can be used for something else. Well, I do sigh every time I think about it.

to much on something is a bad thing. sometimes if you love or want something, you got to let it go. cause maybe god has a plan for you. maybe it is not the time for you to get or have it, or maybe you get a better or best that will come to you in the future. i hope you get much better or best in the future. chin up!!!

Yes I'm really craving to buy an apple notebook or a macbook because it's what we are using in school and i like its features too. Unfortunately it's too expensive, I am shy to ask for it to my parents. Maybe it's not really for me or God will give it to me at the right time.

I have been like this over furniture lately. Mine is falling apart. my couch and chair are hand me downs from my inlaws, and survived my husband and his friends all through grade school and high school. It is a cute country theme, in the blues with pink accents, the only problem is that the rest of my house is modern. I have been putting a little aside here and there, but it will probably be another year before I can get new stuff.

It always happen to me! I hate it very much. Whenever I get back with enough cash, either the stocks ran out or my size is no longer available. Well, they say that you don't get what you shouldn't. And that you always deserve something better. I just think of that all the time so I wouldn't feel so bad.

Hiya cherry, Sort of know how you feel there. I have seen something I like and just have to keep finding ways to be able to get it. However that can take a long time sometimes can´t it. So never mind you might just be able to get them when you least expect it.

Hi Cherryd, Yes its really the things are very costly and generally out of reach for the general masses like us,but never mind some day will be ours as well and hope the shoes you like the best comes to your cart very soon. One thing is that is very very clear to we people is that we need to keep on working and fight it out,our sustained effort will bear the fruits which will be the sweets one,never give up. Happy mylotting.

For me yes but I can use my self not to buy because I want to buy for the fix of my money have I want to buy the same style in the higher amount so it is the same I buy the style of the expensive one.

I myself want to buy a new mobile but don't have enough money for that. Though the money required for it is not that much but I am running short of money from some time now. But I don't actually feel pain when I am not able to buy something. Rather I plan how I can get it or how I can save enough money for it.

I tend to want to buy things most people don't want to pay the price for. But I usually only get it when I have income coming it. If I went right now and found something I felt I had to have I wouldn't get it because I have no income. But if I had a job and could almost afford it I definately would get it.
