JulieH Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm sitting here at my desk trying to get up the nerve to put on my shoes, and go to the Apple store and just buy the darned Ipad. I always get nervous when buying a big ticket item. I can afford it. I've planned for it. It's just taking the leap I guess. Tell me to just go do it!!!!

Annie G Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Do it! But I do know how you feel. I had the money saved for my Macbook and it took me more than a month to actually buy the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patches Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yes, I get very nervous! But, I'm not sorry afterwards! Enjoy your iPad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yes, but it is more over things like houses, vehicles, etc. However I do get highly upset with myself when I do things like spill tea all over my mac book:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelbe5 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Initially I just read the title if your thread and thought to myself "Yes, I get nervous when we make big purchases . . . unless it had to do with an Apple product!" :D If you really need to think it over you may consider buying a refurbished first generation iPad direct from the online Apple store (what our family did). If you want the latest generation just go to your local store and buy one. You will love it. This is what I say about Apple products: Worth. Every. Penny.

Rosy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Always. There's this nagging you-don't-need-that, you-can't-afford-it, the-car-is-going-to-blow-up-tomorrow that always comes when I spend anything beyond our typical monthly spending.

Brooketopia Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 DO EET. I do the same thing. While I can easily spend, oh let's say, $250 on multiple purchases that aren't that important, I practically have a nervous breakdown over spending $150 on ONE thing. That we need. I don't understand it either. Just buy it and don't fret. More enjoyment that way. You're going to buy it anyway, why go through all that energy to produce the negative feelings when the end result will be the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama2Many4 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Nope! No nerves. No problems. :D I can't wait to get mine. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal in VA Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes...I get very nervous! We bought our girls laptops this year for school and I couldn't write out the check. I had to make my DH do it. It was a planned purchase but I totally freaked when the cashier announced the total. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieH Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I did it! I did it! I'm sitting in the car outside the mall admiring it and enjoying my few moments alone with it before I'm bombarded at home!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlylocks Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes, but it is more over things like houses, vehicles, etc. :iagree: -- we're closing on a house Friday. Right now, I feel like I could throw up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyof4ks Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Do it!!! I get nervous every time I make a big purchase, but if I have saved for it and I still want it, then I go get it. Sometimes I need a few days to get up the courage :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yeah, I've finally got the money to buy two things I've wanted for two years and researched to death. Now I'm sitting about waiting for dh to come and tell me he doesn't care and to buy them if I want them. I feel more comfortable following that routine, or something. :rolleyes: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halftime Hope Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I did it! I did it! I'm sitting in the car outside the mall admiring it and enjoying my few moments alone with it before I'm bombarded at home!:lol: I have just the family rule for you: when something new comes in to the house, the person to whom it belongs gets to play with it *by themselves* for x amount of time. (When our kids were little, we set x to 24 hours, but usually after 6 or so hours, the kidlet was inviting the sibs to play along.) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth in OH Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes. Sadly, I'm much better at making large purchases on impulse, rather than in a considered way. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes. The 1 1/2 years after the fire about did me in because everything was a large purchase. There were 2 weeks where I spent over $5k on stuff for the house (all of the appliances, etc.) Because of my dh's schedule it was just me and the kids. Congrats on working up the gumption :001_smile:! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
