Did it ever happened to you to like something a lot from a store, but realise you don't have enough money to buy it? How did you feel? Personally, i hate when this happen and i try everything to finally get the money for that item.

Yeah, I hate it when that happens. :( But if I really want it, I guess I would charge it on my credit card then pay the bill a month later.

at least you have a credit card that allows you to do it :) though i have to say, if i had one, i'd sure buy tons of things and then realise there's no way i can pay them later

Hi ellaangelus! Yes I can relate to you on this. Like they say our wants are limitless and that's absolutely true. This is where we exercise prudence and learn to distinguish between a need and a want.

i'm sure even if we had a lot of money, we'd spend them on various things, and then when we have nothing left, we'd still want more

Yep, this happens quite a bit for me. Generally, if I really want something I'll think of a plan for saving for it. Most of the time, however, I don't really need the expensive item so I just let it go. There's no use worrying over, say, a $1200 dress. Maybe I can find something that looks similar at a MUCH lower price.

Ooh, I hate this. This is a constant issue. I always want new things but can never really afford them. I'm not too much of an impulsive shopper BUT when I see something I feel like I have to have..And I know I don't have money.. It makes me so sad! lol

This happens to me a lot. like, whenever we are in a mall, I always see something I like but I decide not to buy it since it's not really a necessity- even though I really want it. I'm saving up for college...

I always encounter this situation where I really like something from the store but I just don't have enough money to get it. But I usually am patient to wait until I get it so it does not really bother me a lot. Of course feel sad a little bit but the feel usually goes away very soon. Thanks for sharing and take care
