When it comes to making big purchases, I tend to take awhile to think about it, before I go right out and make that purchase. After I make the purchase I start to wonder if I did the right thing. My last big purchase was my car. Yes, I needed the car but the payments have been a killer. This is one purchase my stomach has been in knots in for awhile. I will be thankful when it is paid, and I no longer have to worry about the payment.
I do know a lot of the reasons why I feel this way, is due to my anxiety. I would do anything not to have the mental issues I do have. I often wonder if people really do understand the things running through my head.
Even with small purchases I am the same way. I remember going to Wal-mart, I had a few hundred dollars on me everything was paid for, it was income tax time, and I wanted a sewing machine. My husband was all for me getting that sewing machine, however, I didn’t want to spend the $100 for it, because I felt as though I needed to use that money some where else… Mind you we just got our income taxes which was a large amount.
I did purchase the sewing machine, but it took me almost a week before I took it out of the box, I was very tempted to return it to the store.
How much time do you take in making those high end purchases? Do you ever get that feeling in your stomach that will not go away?
