The Reality of Overbuying

Many people go shopping and see lots of things that they would like to own. Some of these people also find that they have some extra money in their pockets so they decide to buy everything that they like without even thinking twice. This is okay if you plan to wear or use all of what you bought more than once but as you will notice, when you overbuy, you cannot possibly get to wear everything you own and you may find yourself getting rid of things that still have their tags attached. If this sounds like something you have done in the past, you probably overbought. Here are some things for you to consider.

Don’t Waste Your Money

You probably work really hard for your money. With that being said, you simply cannot afford to throw it down the drain without a second thought. Why would you waste that hard earned money on clothes you will never wear or on items you will never use? When you go into a store and you see something you really like, you might not think twice about purchasing it at the time. If you see a shirt you like, you may want to own it, even if it is a bit impractical. You have the money, so you buy it but once you buy it you find that you have nothing to even wear it with. This can lead you to either want to go out and spend more money to have something to wear it with or it can cause you to give it away or donate it to someone else with the tags still attached. Someone else will benefit by getting at item you paid full price for less than half of the price. Don’t waste your money.

Not Getting Used, Not Getting Worn

When  you overbuy, you probably have more things and clothes than you even know what to do with. You’ll walk into your closet thinking you have nothing to wear, when in reality, you have too much to wear. That’s why you have trouble picking at outfit. It’s because you have too many options. You do not want to spend your money on things you won’t ever wear or use, so don’t. If you know that you need something and you know you will wear it or use it, buy it. Otherwise, think twice.
Many people are guilty of overbuying. Whether something was on sale or you just had some extra cash in your pocket, you probably overbought and splurged at one point in time or another too. Everyone does it but if you are thinking of buying things you may not need, think about all of the things you have at home that are not getting used or worn. It will remind you that you do not need to spend your money in such a way and you will feel better about your decision. You will have more money in your pocket and less things sitting around.
