Buyers Remorse

We have all done it, purchased an item that either we didn't need or paid more then we expected for an item. You walk out the shop and you get the feeling in the pit of your stomach of, "what did I do?" Temptation to figure out a reason to return it to your item jumps up, especially if you have a spouse who might not understand your purchase. Could I say it was damaged? Could I say it was not what I needed? Many devious ways to get your money back and make your buyers remorse go away pop into your mind.

There is indeed a way to deal with buyer's remorse without lying! There is a way to make yourself feel better and enjoy your purchase without the guilt.

First, look at the item that you purchased. Does it enrich your life or bring joy or brightness to your home? Is it a quality item? Does it fit the need that you purchased it for? If the answers are yes, be reassured that you made a wonderful purchase. Anything that enriches your life and brings happiness and joy is worth the price.

If the answer is no, you can still get rid of your buyers remorse without resulting to deviousness.

The good news is that there are several options open to you!

First is reselling the item. Place it on eBay or in a newspaper or other selling forum and try to get some if not all of your money back for the item. Another option is to donate your item to a charity auction or sale. By doing that you will have both a tax write off as well as the reward of doing something positive for others. Or you could give it as a special gift to a friend for a birthday, anniversary, wedding or just because.

Never feel bad about a purchase. You got it for a reason and can always find some way to have the item bring you joy, peace and happiness!

Enjoy your purchases!
