Instant gratification ... or not?

I'm the sort of person who, when I see something I want, I want it NOW. The longer I go without it, the more it chips away at me and the more I want it.

I'm not talking sex here but anything ... the latest brand of make-up, those shoes in the sale, that handbag ...

At the moment it's a car I've seen and I really, really, really want it. I've convinced myself that if I don't get it then there will be nothing like that particular model for sale ever again.

So are you an instant gratification kind of a person? Or are you cool and controlled and can easily wait?

PS - I REALLY want that car!!

I used to be, however, I got my fingers burnt financially, hence I am learning to budget and save up etc., instead of relying on credits.

I am in the unique position that if I want something I rob it!

I wanted the iPhone 5. When it arrived it sat on the table for a week before I even opened the box. I just think I want things and when I actually get it, I am not that bothered.

I don't really want much so I can usually wait. I did really REALLY want a kindle and waited about six months to get one for Christmas last year.

If I met you I wouldn't say that....

However,OP.... How does it make you feel AFTER you have bought the item? Or is it the actual buying that you like?

It did and continues so to do, I would go so far as to say that apart from one or two items of a shall we say personal nature, it has given me the most pleasure of anything I own.

Used to be the case that if I wanted it I got it, but illness and a spell of unemployment has taught me the difference between need and want.

I want a lot of things, but actually need very little

Sometimes it's the spending that I like. I bought a Kindle and have hardly used it - I've also got 'the latest amazing foundation make-up' (lots of them) but tend to just use a tinted moisturiser. I have boots and tops I've never worn even though I wanted them desperately at the time.

The car, however, is slightly different as I've decided to be sensible and chop my 2 litre convertible in for a little eco car and have seen 'the' perfect one ... I'm talking myself into it again aren't I?
