I posted a topic about this cute green beetle that parked here in front our house.
I took picture because I really like her.
Now this cute green car I called "Keroppi" is FOR SALE
I am sad because I can't buy her, I don't have money to buy her thu I like her
Do you feel sad when you want something and you can't buy/have it because you don't have means to have it.
Or would you do or find other ways to have that thing that you really want,like borrowing money in order to buy and have it for you?
Share your views and experience dear friends and mylotters

Hi Jai!
I appreciate your longing for the car beetle. Sometimes, I get fascinated by some material things. However, if I do not have any means to buy the same, I do not re-consider buying it. I also do not go for any loans to buy a product, if it is not indispensable to me. I feel that I should spend within my means and should not be under obligation of repaying any loan(s) or go insolvent.

That's my only consolation,to appreciate this cute car.
I am imagining her to turn into a lady bug if I can have her.
I wanted to paint her red and put some black spots (lady bug color)
but she can't be mine...
would you buy her for me?

I definitely agree with you dpk! Even if i like a thing so much, i will not do a means that will compromise my budget, much less making me spend outside of my means. I would just console myself that it's not a need and maybe it's not meant to be mine after all.
That way, i won't feel bad of not having it.

Yup, i should agreed that we can admire but only buy if we are afford to spend that money. Never to spend outside our means or else we ended-up being broke...
Great idea to take that photo, Jai. At least with this photo, you can admire it and not necessary to buy it.

Hi jaiho!
That car's really cute! It's sad that you won't be able to buy it.
I feel sad, too whenever there's something I cannot afford to buy. And I don't like borrowing just to be able to buy that stuff. But if it's really expensive and I need it, I don't feel ashamed borrowing from my mother.
But whenever I can't buy something that I really want, I try to save so I will be able to buy it in the future. And when that time comes and the item is no longer available, I just tell myself that it was probably not meant for me.

When I suddenly wanted a scooter, I was still having second thoughts if I need it or not. But when I saw the available colors, I thought I just to get one! The pink one! I borrowed money from my mother to buy it.

hi jaiho,
Sometimes I am a impulsive buyer
There are times I wanted to buy something but if it is beyond my budget and capacity I will just tell myself that I can buy more than that in the future
But if that something is good for investment I will look for a way to buy it but if not and doesn't have a budget for it I will just give myself a consolation for not having it.
Well Keroppi is cute one but I am going to stick with my Bumblebee he already stole my heart

didn't know the "froggy-tortoise beetle" was a "she"! hehe.. wanna buy it? why not trade it with your "alto"??? =D
well, it's really sad when you can't have what you want for some reason..but i think, it's harder when you can't have what you need...it really hurts when you realize that the "one" you need won't be yours..(did i make any sense? =D) hehehe..

oh really? well i think you should "pimp" it before selling it. so you can offer it for a good price.

Of course, I think each one of us has had the experience where we wish we could have enough money to buy something but we really cannot afford it. It is hard when this happens, but unfortunately it is a fact of life - use these times as motivation to work harder and earn the money you need!

hello bouncy,
I can imagine a bouncing bug reading your username so cute and cool.
Yes,it will give us inspiration to earn,save more to buy the thing that we want.
I wish to have this cute care,maybe because it's an old one.
I like to have something from the past ,that's only my reason for buying this car if only I have extra to bought this cutie keroppi.
(which doesn't sound practical coz I have my car already and i only want this one for display)
have a good day

Awww it is cute. I hope you can figure a way... maybe sell some stuff you dont want anymore, lil extra cash, and borrow. Pay it iff slowly. How much is it? How much do you have saved?

hello Jackie,
It's really cute,but I am fine.
i just wish to have this cutie if only I've got extra money.
It may sound impractical since I have my car,and this beetle will surely become like a display or collection only (i just wish to own one ,antique or old car like this beetle)
But,maybe not this time...or not coz I am not that rich to be a car collector (hehehe)
Thanks for your response and have a good day [b]"welcome to mylot"

jaiho no if I do not have the funds I will wait to I do
or forget .l earned my lesson by getting into credit card
debt and am out now for ten years. I pay cash or wait
as I do not want to ever by in debt again like that.
My experience things you want and go over board on just
end up causing misery. I would rather not owe money to'anyone if its possible.

dear Hatley,
oh dear,sorry to hear that you've faced such situation with debt.
I never consider loan just to raise the amount for this cute beetle.
No,i will never do that.
I have my car anyway and this is only impractical of me to have another one which will only be a display if ever I will buy it.
I would rather save my money dear and don't worry,I will not buy this one

Thanks for sharing a very nice picture of car, here. However, if I do not have enough fund, i won't be buying it, too. I think we should always spend within our own budgets. It is really unwise to go obtaining a loan just because we fancy something and interested to buy it. In the end, we will be having loans circled our whole body.

hello myfb,
It's only a wish for me,but not a practical one,since I have my car already and buying this cute car only means for display (just a childish wish)
I always wanted to have an old car like this beetle car,that is why I wish to have this one.
Anyway,I can took photos as many as I want as a souvenir and that will do
have a good day

Wow! nice car and sis you know I like green color so I also choose green color bus for mylot picnic you can see there ahahha. I want to join drive class but my father in law not giving permission for it. I am not able to purchase the car now but I know after 1 to 2 years I will purchase a car but small Tata Nano because it is under my budget and our family is small so useful.

oh the poor thing is for sale, hope they don't bring it to the scrap yard, no seriously how much? Is it still running? Why not check, some VW are more expensive for collectors than others especially those made in Germany (although they all look the same,) Nothing to lose asking, who knows you might make money from something you think you cannot afford. Good luck

Hi friend!
I know how you feel jaiho 'cause I felt that when I wanted something so bad but I don't have enough money for it.
There was a time when I really wanted to have a vacation out of the country as our second honeymoon but we just thought it's something we should set aside for the meantime 'cause there are other things we should prioritize. Honestly,we already agreed to push it through so hubby and I did some ways to save money for it but when we already have the money,second thoughts arised,lol! We just decided to put the money in a more important investment and just schedule the vacation next time. Had no regrets for it jaiho 'cause we know we did the right choice. Sometimes when we have the money in our hands,something will come up,lol!

hello cutie,
Well,yes,we should know our priority.
Besides this is one of my wish.
Maybe a childish wish since I have my car,and I won't be needing this beetle...
i just like it,because it's so cute and it's an old car that I feel like wanting to have one old car as souvenir...just like that (hehehe)
Eversince I was a kid I always wish to ride on this beetle car.
We have a landcruiser before ,so each time I saw this beetle car,ohhh,I always dream to have a ride (hahaha)
anyway,I can took photos as many as I want and saved as souvenir...
have a good day my friend

They no longer make that version available here in the USA :0( I like the classic looking VW Bug look. Well as you said you either find a way to get it by taking out a loan or save up to buy something similar in time. Though most of us hate waiting for anything hence most of us are in a great deal of debt.

I have a very hard time justifying any kind of debt right now. I am up feeling guilty over buying my kids end of season things that they will use next year mostly. But they have sooo much already that they don't wear. UG!
