Do you buy what you like or that you can afford?

Stardom22 · Dec 28, 2024

Most people including me found themselves in a situation whereby they can only buy what they can afford and never what they really like? What about you?

If I like it but I cannot afford it, I will pass on it and save money until I can afford it. Or I look for a similar item on sale.

I usually buy what I like when I can afford it. Which means if I can't afford it now, I might be able to in the future.

I just buy things I like. If I cannot afford them at the moment, I'll save enough money to buy them.

When I am going to buy something, my first consideration is the benefits and needs, sometimes we need good and expensive things especially for meetings at parties, meeting important people, or clients.

I buy what i can afford for the moment. I don't need to wait till i have enough to buy what i like. Once what i can afford is enough to solve my immediate need, i will go for it. My father told me that you must not have everything you desire. Sometimes, you need to caution yourself and live within your limit.

I buy what I can afford. Things are very expensive these days. So to get by I am realistic about the amount of money I have. Acceptance saves me from unnecessary stress.

There are times in my life that I get to buy what I like. And certain times too, I am just pragmatic to buy only what I can afford.

No, I don't always buy what I like because sometimes my likes can also be something that do not fall under my necessity.

That's right what you like at that time might just be a want that you can do without. So it better to go for what you really need and is affordable

I only buy things I can afford and truly need. When I like something and I can’t afford it, I’d pass. I prefer to buy things that really are important.

I am always about being practical. I don't like stretching to get what would make me enter debts. I prefer to go for what I can afford.

I buy things I like even if it's going to take me years to save money to buy what I like and ensure its going to last so I save money for that not what you can afford and tomorrow you lost it that wouldn't help it's waste of cash but buying a reliable item that last is the best

There are so many things that I like but I don't buy them. I only stick to buy what I can always afford at all times.

Buying within your means minimizes the need for loans or credit, which can lead to interest payments and potentially overwhelming debt.
