Why Do You Find Loads Of Things To Buy When You Have No Money?

Shopping! - A shopping scene.
February 13, 2007 8:25am CST
Today, I went window shopping. I found loads of items that I wanted to buy, but couldn't afford anything. I can guarantee, that if I go back to these shops in a week with some money, there will be nothing I like. Does anyone else find this? You always want what you can't have ;)

Look at it this way, if you have money and find something you like, you refrain yourself from buying it knowing that there might be something better OR you can use your money in something more worthwhile. BUT if you do not have money, you know you can't buy it. So if you find something, you don't have to restrain yourself, because you know deep down that you can't buy it. thus without restraint, you feel that you really really like loads of things.

That's a very good point. There were a few times yesterday when I thought I really liked something, but I probably wouldn't have bought it even if I had the money. Thanks for your response!

Yes it's most frustrating experience and I have it often :( What is worse, is when you are looking for a particular item for a long time and it shows up only at the time that you can't buy it, and once that you're there to get it it's gone.. Bad luck, wrong place wrong time, etc. No matter how you call it i just hate it when it happens ..

LOL That's ALWAYS the way it is with me too! I guess you've said it all when you said we always want what we can't have. I try not to go window shopping to much because this is alway the times when I see so many things that I would love to have but haven't got a red cent to put towards it, lol. It makes it really difficult to stick to my budget that way, haha

Oh yes - this annoys me no end. I once wanted to buy a dress for a wedding and could find nothing that I liked....6 months later I noticed so many wonderful dresses that I would have loved to have bought and worn at the time - but no occasion to wear then to now! Oh well.
