Have you ever bought something you didn't need

[albon]

People buy a product only when it is needed to run their life. Again, people have different dreams that when they have a large fund so they buy that thing. Suppose i have a dream of buying a car so when i get money then i will buy a car. So people never buy unnecessary things because no one wants to waste money. Personally, i have never bought unnecessary things in my life and i always try to buy things according to my needs.

[Z-tight]

My was a laptop, I was eager to buy a laptop not because I needed it badly but because I want to have a laptop.

I get what you are saying, but i don't think a laptop is a bad buy, as long as it is not one that is so expensive that you had to borrow to buy it. You can look for more ways to put your laptop to good use, you could even move some of your favorite applications from your phone to your laptop.

I do not fall for such pressure, but sometimes the temptation comes my way, but I just have to muster courage in resisting such at that moment because I know if I do that, I will regret it, so  I do not give in to the pressure. There was a period when I wanted to buy a gadget for myself, although it wasn't that necessary, but I just needed it and had the funds. I thought of it several times as something not so important for me, but just for fun. So I resisted the urge I always get to buy it, and to my greatest surprise, my friend bought it for me as a gift the following week.

That’s right, things like this do happen or exist and one should be contented with what they have and always go for the best things that can be beneficial to them and also to others, getting what doesn’t have value or wanting to have what they can’t afford or what will not be of use at that moment, it’s such a waste and can cause one go bankrupt.

That's true most times, we just ought to control our urge for things we do not see as important at that very moment. It is not everything we see trending that we jump into just because it is fun, it is better to stay contented than to go for unnecessary luxury, which would not last long, but just for a particular time and season, and after that, the trend elapses another takes over leaveing you behind with the past trend and that cycle continues and in most cases, you put yourself under pressure to make sure you meet up which is not convenient most tines as well. This kind of lifestyle does not end well, as it results in financial loss and bankruptcy, just as you have said.

Yeah, you're right. Most times, we just need to control ourselves and not rush to get things we don’t really need. Just because something is trending doesn’t mean we must have it. It’s better to be okay with what we have than to chase things that won’t last. Trends come and go, and trying to keep up with all of them can really mess up our finances. At the end of the day, it’s not worth the pressure or regret.

Not everyone buys on need, there are people who chase every new thing because they are passionate about it or whatever reason and often on credit card as well, rather than balance they have at hand.

Living a luxury lifestyle that one can’t afford it, usually put one under pressure, and this can lead one to do what they don’t want to just to meet up the lifestyle such as, they might go into armed robbery or involving themselves into illegal activities.
But for one to live the kind lifestyle they wish to live in order to impress people as they always think or do, it’s wise or advisable to always work hard positively, but if they can’t live up to that expectation, they should be happy in whatever way they find themselves, because earning money or living a costly lifestyle through the means of negative source, they might end up putting their lives in danger.

I have come to realise that most times, people get to be influenced by their friends and what they see on social media, which pushes them to live a fake life. All these things they are doing just to show off in society, and they do not really know how the person they are trying to copy is funding or financing their flamboyant lifestyle. Many of them are genuine and legit, while some are fake, and they are doing this just to deceive the masses to gain more followers, which would help them generate more income, which they do not understand. I long discovered this, and I had to do away with that thought and mentality of influencers and celebrity things and focus on crypto and blockchain to further build and develop my capacity.

I always get the temptations when it comes to gadgets, but I just curb my feelings that the urge fades away once I get the product in my hands.

Yeah, me too, i have friends who are using the most recent iphone products, if you ask some of them why they feel they must buy a new iphone once there is a new release, they do not even know. It is all due to the pressure to use the most recent device, but just like you, i do not care about such things.

Once you rise above marketing gimmicks, these new constant tech releases cease to influence you much. Companies launch new products every year saying, "this is best thing ever" but it has little extra compared to what you already own and there is no real value in purchasing it.

Social media promotions influence a lot and paid sponsors pass on thoughts to many small creators and they starts advertising things for free because they started to beleive that it's the best because someone who is popular told. And it's just keep on spreads like a wild fire, apple is most successful with this strategy and the same followed by every tech related brands to sell their products when the customers may not really need that.

I am not sure about fake life but we do get ideas from friends, social media and surroundings on what we 'should' be having, and if you have means that's ok but if not in trying to conform puts you under pressure.

Lets say for example about Apple or simply talking about smartphones, this has become that a common thing that being bought on which its being used that people been trying to make this as some sort of status symbol, if you do have this then you are considered that you are included into those rich people. lol.

When it comes into the things that you are buying out but ending up on having no use or you are still that selling it out later on then there are tons of things that influences you out on doing so.
This is why at the moment that you have those moments or times that you are in financial trouble or issues then you do find yourself having thinking about these wrong spendings on which later on you will be able to realize.

Fake life is real if you don't have an idea about that. I know people who borrow to impress when they can't afford the lifestyle they are living. Some put themselves under pressure to make sure they get means just to put up with people they are no match with, they just keep being fake, and what annoys me most is that they would be deceiving and confusing people out there to thinking they are for real making them to start wanting to live a fake life like them unknown to them that are clamouring to be like the fake people.

That’s absolutely correct, many people usually got influenced by what they see, that is what their friends, some family members are doing, so them also want to do it just to feel among too, that is why in this world most of the young ones always involve themselves into illegal activities just to get what they want, just to impress others.
They don’t care if they go hungry or not, they might even go on begging others people own just to look like them, and these kind of people, they are not always contented with what they have.

Just like you have said, most of these people caught in crimes are people who were influenced by people who are probably fake, and they are just busy deceiving people out there, making them feel they are for real covering their dirty and fake lifestyle till they were caught because they too were busy looking up to people who are living fake life like them too not knowing they were psychologically having a negative influence over them which they did not get clear till they were caught. Fake life has sent many to their early grave, while some have put themselves in a tight corner because of their fake life and are in debt. It is best to be content with the little you have rather than going for what you can not be able to afford and maintain.

I don't spend my money buying unnecessary things. As long as I didn't need that things, there is no need to purchase them, I would rather save the money incase of unforseen circumstances, because I would definitely need them in the future. Buying something that i don't need is like pressurising myself, and I don't even think about that. I don't focus on my wants, I I only focus on my needs. We have to be realistic about what we truly need because life is unpredictable. Focusing on needs rather than desires makes life more easier for you.

There isnt a single person in the world who hasnt bought something useful and waster money on garbage. Everyone have gone through emotional purchasing. Everyone was a victim of aggressive and annoying advertisement. Most common reason why people bough something they dont need is greed. People see something that suppose to have a low price or discount, and buy it just in case or because it might be useful one day. I think I have bought so many kitchen appliances that I havent even taken out of the box, that I had to throw them away because I dont have room to keep them.
