HOW TO DEAL: FINANCIAL GUILT | Overspending and Wasting Money

[@misskirsty3026]

I feel so guilty suddenly tonight😭😭 I spent a heavy amount of money on buying skincare products a couple of months ago and so far I havent seen any changes on my skin..on top of that I bought some unnecessary products some of which made my skin itchy and more worse..came to watch this so that the feeling would let me go.. I've really learnt my lesson. Glad I said what I said😇💕

i spent a lot on skincare at the mall today, even though i had got a deal on it, i still feel guilty because i wasn't used to spending such a high price. i try to think of it as a self care investment and the money will always be there, but your skin won't always be as healthy years down the road without proper care

Something that has been causing me financial guilt is how much money I have been spending on take out/ food delivery apps, I have spent well over $800 over two months and it’s impacted how much I have spent on my credit card as well, so slowly but surely trying to cut back and to see this as a way to learn from this, hoping to improve soon :)

[@emmadorkface]

I've lost several $20 bills over the years. I did finally learn to stop putting money in my back pockets... But I let go of the guilt of irresponsibility by thinking about the person that found it. While it was a loss for me, it made someone else's day. And maybe, just maybe, that person was really struggling at the time and the $20 was a lot more to them than it was to me.

I love this mindset!!

I came here to comment about how guilty I feel about having a $6000 credit card. Didn’t use it wisely and spent and even went over limit on it. Never again. I’m reading some of these comments and inspiring me more to value money as it is an equivalent to time and time should never be wasted.

[@salmalubani4424]

I feel guilty because there are people on this planet that are hungry and homeless and wish to spend this amount of money and I get heartbroken and guilt begins.

[@serenasmith1662]

My god i feel exactly the same !

I really needed this video. I just brought some in game items with real money. It was about 13 dollars. And I don’t think it was worth it. I was super guilty about it and it was keeping me up. I could not sleep. So thank you for the video.

[@ilovebunniessparks5121]

13$? Ohh don’t even worry about such a small amount. Your being far too harsh on yourself dear.

[@juananthonyporter7441]

I used to smoke weed, and i remember being in Jobcorps ...my money would go on weed when i was younger, i remember getting high with my girlfriend outside, and i had a cd player(with good bass) and alot of snacks waiting for me on dorm! I was so high and it was nighttime, when i finally came back on dorm ...someone stole my cd player and my snacks! I was too lazy to lock the cd player and snacks earlier in my locker because i was high ...but now, iam sober almost 6 years now and i save! I learned my lesson ...i dont want to get high or drunk or lightheaded & forgetfull from ciggarettes ....i love being sober and it changed my life & healed me so much! Thanks & Happy Mother's day!

I had been looking for a specific pair of shoes and when I found them on a site, I immediately bought them for $200. Two days later, I went back to the same site and saw that the shoes went on sale and were $140. If I had just waited a few days, I could have saved quite a bit of money. On top of that, I just picked up the package from the post office and I had to pay an extra $60 for duties and taxes. The worst part is it wasn't even my money. My parents paid for it all.

[@karlieazar840]

The worst part is when it's your parents' money :(

Hi thanks for this opportunity to share my story. I have had a stressful year and am turning to shopping. Most recently I spent $213 on hair extensions. I cant stand them. They have been in less than a week and I want to remove then and be my natural self but it was so expensive!! I have spent lots of money on hair and make up this past year as a way to cope with stress and try to feel better about myself. Ugh I feel sick. But this video has helped me!

[@TessAbroad]

Thanks so much for sharing your story, Emma! If you haven't seen it already, my "how to fill the spending void" video might be a good one for you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn7dh4amYr2jeZY

I wasted money on a game and lost it right after.

[@bgrace2242]

I felt so guilty last night as I spend some money on a sims 4 expansion pack and although it wasn’t a huge amount of money I realised that it was probably a waste of money and I didn’t actually need this expansion pack . After watching your video I felt so much better and I’m going to start focusing on budgeting my allowance each month

[@clairewillow6475]

I feel guilty that from the age of 18-25 I was making up to 1500 a night (on and off) and I spent it all on clothes, makeup, alcohol and traveling Feels good to let that out ... I should have saved it but oh well!!!

[@TessAbroad]

You’re strong for sharing! And stronger for learning from the experience!!

[@nlmbspaz9044]

[@RahulOwL7]

Thnx.. this will help me to buy a new iphone without feeling guilty.. 😐

[@Krinotkris]

Every single of stupid purchases that I made (mostly for the clothes that I've never worn, because well girls:) just popped in my head, but I haven't ever though about this way. Good advice:)

[@TessAbroad]

Christina Right thanks for watching!

[@tylerepps4452]

Yes! This is what I needed to hear thank you 🙏🏻

[@sayedagatcha7828]

My dad spent 140 dollars on glasses for me and I feel so guilty

[@LinhHueTran]

I love this video! :D Thank you.

[@littlemiss8867]

What a wonderful way to look at it!

[@Anonymous-iv1ne]

I wasted my parents 1743$ which is much in my country on my coaching for cracking an entrance exam. I was unable to crack it unfortunately as competition is very high, silly mistakes, selection percent is very less, etc. Also i was confused all along the way that what i actually want to do in future. This money guilt is haunting me since then, i feel like i will be in depression soon. I am from developing country and i always feel that this amount of money should ve gone to someone from poor family instead of me. I just wasted it, my parents hard earned money....

[@jozertron]

Every time I want to spend money I feel like what else can I spend this money on that’s better than this I feel guilty even for 20 lol

[@pikachudardis]

I feel guilty because I spent £250 on a new PS4 when I thought my old one was broken.... it was fine I feel bad because someone could’ve really needed that

[@yensvini3415]

I subscribed to an app since it had a free trial, and the one year subscription had a longer free trial. With total intention of cancelling the subscription before the trial ends, somehow I thought I already unsubscribed. It’s been a month now and I realized I just wasted 150$ on an annual subscription with an app I don’t use, and this is all paid for by my mom. I feel guilty but I know I can work it off and regain the lost money. Now I know not to ever do this free trial nonsense.

[@kaleidojess]

I don't usually shop for myself this time I did so I feel kind of guilty. I know I'm going to wear everything but I just have this sinking feeling. It's less than $ 200 but I guess it's because I know I could save it or maybe I could've bought less.

[@serenasmith1662]

I love love your voice !!

[@manasvitharigoppula503]

[@EmwA1011]

Thank you ❤

[@fridamalvina2432]

I just bought stuff for 100 dollars. I can return it but i got a good value of all the stuff. Like a christmas calendar. Ive been working really hard in school so i partly see this as a reward. But it's alot of money as a 15 yr old and I feel really guilty about it

[@TessAbroad]

Thanks for sharing, Frida. If you worked for that money and bought stuff that brings you joy, focus on the joy! You can ALWAYS make more money!!

[@DawnGreene]

Would you spend 13.06 cents on drink earrings? Or would you save your money?

[@vividinstinct8556]

This was amazing advice

[@TessAbroad]

Thank you!!

[@Gin717]

I know this is super late but I wasted at most 400 dollars on fortnite and 200$+ on video games. I am thankful that someone knows how it feels to waste money. Btw please don't make fun of me because i used 400 dollars on fortnite

[@tribby3180]

I spent 30 dollars gambling on a game without getting what I was trying to get

[@naimishdadheech]

I spent money on an educational course 100$ but turns out they provided it for free.... LOL not an waste but a guilt.

[@delavr1966]

I got scammed out of $600 so now I only have 100 spending money and the rest in my savings. I really am just trying to find something that makes me happy but instead I just wasted over half a grand. I lied to everybody and said that it was only $100 and I can resell to earn profit in the future. But nope, I spent 600 fucking dollars.

[@imisaac2171]

Same here bro I feel so fucking guilty and depressed rn

[@LinhHueTran]

$20 IS ALOT OF MONEY!!!!!! I know a girl who lost $50.. But STILL!!!! It's EMBEDED INTO YOUR BRAIN! LOL.
