Do you get scared or feel a little guilty when you make "larger" purchases? "Larger purchases" being relative. I don't know if it's because our income is so unpredictable but I hate/love (of course who doesn't love new stuff) buying big ticket items. I remember when I bought my Dyson two year ago, I found the best deal possible which made it almost 50% off but i was so worried to spend that money not knowing if I would need it for the next month. Of course looking back, we were fine.
We just bought our kids a new bed, the one they had before was bought for MY little sisters when I was 15, so 15 years ago. It was old and it squeaked like crazy because it was all metal, but it's free to whomever wants it. Again, we searched for the best deal possible and best quality and are still amazed that we got such a nice bed for $300. But.......ugh......and then, my phone is awful. It is the phone they offered for free when we signed up, it's cracked and I can barely hear the person on the other line and I just happened to be up for a phone upgrade. When I took my phone in the guy started naming off all the problems they have had with my current phone, while I was checking off my list because I had had all those problems. So I should feel justified right? Man, paying fifty bucks for a new phone......ugh....the guilt. Well....my current phone, although I curse it every time i use it, it does still work.
Am I the only one that gets like this???

I totally get like this. There are things like books that I really don't care what I spend on them, but bigger things I hate spending money on. I always think the money would be better in savings for something else that may come up. It is nice to get new things though.
i am the same way- but you are so much more justified for your purchases than mine:)
I hear yah on that! It is so funny when you think about it. But we are the same way! I think if we were rich, that wouldn't be the case ;)
Yep. Get that way every time I spend over 50 dollars. It's a blessing and a curse.
