Do you feel guilty after spending lots of money?

I always tell people this. No matter what anyone tells you or what you think. MONEY "CAN'T BUY" HAPPINESS!!!. But it can "rent" it. If you think this is a joke, then look at it this way. Think of it like chewing gum, you bought it, you own it. But after you chew it for a while, the flavor goes away, but you still have the gum itself and that will never go away. It's also like non-rechargeable batteries, even after their dead, you still have the psychical batteries themselves left over. When you buy something. It makes you happy for a limited amount of time and after the happiness wears off. You still have the item left over and it might end up in storage taking up space and ultimately forgotten about.
 
Spending "lots of money" ? Not at all.

For me when it's a "big ticket" purchase, it requires me to do all the due-diligence I can. Even if an investment of any kind goes south, if I did my best to research it as a good consumer, there's no point in feeling guilty about it.
 
Not too much because I have funds set aside for various bills and the rainy day fund, and what's left is the "fun money." That being said, I'm still usually careful with what I spend on, though admittedly there are times where I'll buy something on sale that I may not necessary need.
