Buyers Guilt?

I did a month or so ago when I bought a PS4 which basically drained my bank account. In general though, not reallllly? It depends if I enjoy/use extensively/need what I purchase. If neither of those things are fulfilled I usually do suffer from buyers guilt, yeah.
 
Mmmm.... I have more of a pre-emptive buyer's guilt. Performing a cost/benefit analysis and try to talk myself out of buying something
 
I experience it pretty much every time I buy something and see something I should have bought instead... even if I spent a long time talking myself into the purchase
 
Since I don't make my own money yet, whenever I buy something it's usually with my parents' money. As much as possible I try not to buy expensive things, but if they're in a good mood I make the best of it :p

On the rare occasion that I do use my own money, I never really feel guilty about buying whatever it is I bought. I bought myself a hat for Christmas, something that I would never really use, but I didn't experience buyer's guilt at all. I wouldn't buy something if I know that in the end, I'll just regret buying it.
 
I only feel guilty if I spend money on something stupid, and regret it the next day. Other than that, I don't feel guilty for spending my money at all. I try to only buy things which I will use often, and don't at all feel guilty spending the money that I earned on my own.
