4 days ago, while I was browsing around the electonics site on the net, I saw a brand new digital camera with Sony brand name on it, and it was one of my favorite brand, with all the new features. It was on a special sale with a price around $245. I like and I was contemplating should I buy it or not. It was in price a little bit out of my budget, but I still want it. So, go through some internal conflct of myself, I still bought it from the web. Now, the camera arrived, and I saw my another camera still in good condition, I kind of regret my reckless spending. Now, I have 2 cameras, and a week later, I have to bring my car to the shop for timing repair, then I gonna need extra $400 at least to get it done. I should better learn to resist the temptatio. Don't you regret on your reckless spending sometimes too?

is it too late to take it back? i think everyone has done that at some point or another. i have bought jewellry when i could have used the money to pay off a bill or something!


myLot reputation of 90/100. clorissa123 (3789)   ranked 21 out of 3,172 in me  2 months ago

My girlfriend done that too, to buy something that is trivial at the moment. No matter how much advised I gave her. She could actually use that money to do something better. Now, it is the same for me. I felt so mortified.

If I were in your shoes, why should I regret and I must take things ahead for how to read about every problem there is an opportunity, at least. The main point now is to use it in generating an exponential growth in your income or earnings. Grouping yourself in photo club and network with club's members and they will lead you how to make money from your both cameras.

Too much regretting is harmful to your brain development. Use your cameras to reach your life goal and gold. I don't see any good point for you to regret. Move forward and no point go stern, that's life which always on systematic lesson and learn. Now change your desire to necessity,

Work hard is a must, work smart is a necessity, and work diligently is a priority.

Sounds like you are more serious on this matter than me. I do regret, because I already have one camera, but I couldn't resist the temptation of buying new one. I should know better what is on my priority list.

Hi clorissa
I too have spent money that I shouldn't have spent. I have this problem at christmas time. I will buy and buy knowing that it is going to hurt after the holidays. I have promised myself this year that I would shop wisely and not just because I think the grandkids would like it. We will see later on this year what happens. Have a great day and keep smiling.


myLot reputation of 90/100. clorissa123 (3789)   ranked 21 out of 3,172 in me  2 months ago

If you learned lesson, you will know better what to do next. And should not commit the same mistake ever again. I would remind myself with this lesson imprinted on my brain. I should know better what I should take care of first.


myLot reputation of 100/100. rosepedal64 (1495)   ranked 602 out of 3,172 in me  2 months ago

Oh yes that is ever so true clorissa
I did and have and will continue to learn my lesson. Have a great day and keep smiling.

Oh goodness I know what you mean! Just the other day, I bought myself a purse that cost $50.00! It was on sale! There are cheaper purses at other stores, however, because this was a brand name purse, i too fell into temptation. I didn't take iot back but I vowed to be more careful in the future and search for better sales.
Perhaps you should try to take it back and get a refund for your camera if you have the receipt. happy


myLot reputation of 90/100. clorissa123 (3789)   ranked 21 out of 3,172 in me  2 months ago

I purchased it online, so I just decided to keep it, avoid the hassle of returning it through Fedex again. Also, they would reluctantly refund it to me electronically. So, I gonna keep it, and learn a lesson from it.

Reckless spending i think is fueled by advertisement. there are many people in the world that will try to convince you that you need something you don't or already have. Oh and to help you think differently while shopping for merchandise, try to think of it as shopping for food. In the supermarket only bent cand and things that people don't buy, have labels like special sale and one time only. This is a good mentality to help you think of what you really want and need. and if the fridge is stocked with milk, you don't buy more milk even if it a "special" sale. At least you are aware that you where reckless buying that camera but the advertizement around it swayed you so regret it blame it on them and try to do better

Many people have the same problem spending when we should save the money to buy something we real need or to pay of bills. I have been doing very good and not done any reckless spending for over a year now. But when I did spend money and should have I did regret spending the money.

I think everybody once or twice in their life becomes reckless on spending money on things to please ourselves. It somehow makes us feel happier, better knowing we were able to purchase something we really really want at that moment in life. I admit I really feel great when I am in the point of buying the item but right after I feel so sad that I don't need the item and wished I could just take it back to the store to get a refund.

Hi, clorissa. I'm sorry to hear about your regrets. Yeah, everyone in his or her may invest money on unnessary stuffs. In the beginning, we may think we are badly in need of them and can't resist to buy it. But after we actually bought it, we found we don't need them as much as we had thought. Then we began to regret reckless spendings because we can spend that money on other necessary things.
But as you have done it, there is no use for regretting. As the idiom says, "It's no use crying over spilled milk." Just think it over your actual needs next time you invest. Good luck!

You might be able to send the new camera back and get your money returned to you. Cars have ongoing expenses like fuel and sometimes repairs. I had a problem with my digital camera. Therefore I got rid of it then bought a new digital camera. I am ever so happy that I got a new digital camera. Right now I am considering if I shoukd buy a new laptop so I could be about to do more spending. Good luck.
