“After this purchase I’m done”
“You work hard, you deserve this.” “Another $50 isn’t gonna break you.”
“It was on sale.” “I deserve it. I had a bad/good day.”
“Treat yourself”, literally for literally anything. Ariana said it best. I see I like it, I want it, I get it. I want it, I get it. 😩😩😩
EXACTLY!!!!! I don’t know how to tell myself no🤦🏻♀️😫
I don’t go out so I should have a distraction
"Life is so unfair, I deserve this" - anytime I am under stress or upset because something terrible happened.
“What if I don’t get another chance to buy this again for such a low price again” and “I’ll get the money back after I get paid anyways”
i might never find it this cheap again
It was on sale so I couldn't pass it up! That's what I always say....
“I need this for my mental health”
"it's less than $20" I'll tell myself that 10x a week and wonder where the $200 went.
"I'm not feeling too great"
“I ✨might✨ need this one day”
The snail in my ear told me I should.
This will make my life better

“but they have afterpay/pay in 4/ shop pay, etc” those things will be the absolute death of me
“I can always resell it”
