Or are you apprehensive about the usability of something that you recently bought? If yes, then you're the victim of buyer's remorse.  Buyer's remorse is the surge of regret that a shopper might undergo after having made a purchase due to doubts about the quality, quantity, price, or usage of the purchase. Right after having made the choice of a product or a service, the buyer might begin to wonder upon certain points that usually give them 'cold feet'. Reasons for Buyer's RemorseOverlooking necessities - Shopping without a reason is mostly the case where the buyer ends up burdened by the guilt of buying what was not a necessity. Impulsive spending is most commonly observed during trade fairs or festive sales. Impatience - Lack of patience can also be a great factor to generate buyer's remorse. If only you would have waited for another two months, you could have had the latest upgraded version of your favorite cell phone. For now, you have to make the most out of the previous version. "It's just you" - Sometimes, it's just your mind playing games with you. Prior to landing upon the decision, you might have convinced yourself with all the information. But on second thoughts, you suddenly feel that the purchase you've made just does not suit your style. Prevention is better than 'rue'List out your requirements - Being sure of what you want is half the job done. Prepare a checklist to jot down all that is elementary to your requirements. Plan a budget - Outline a cost-effective budget plan, dedicating an obligatory amount to your list of priorities. Maintain your mental cool - Do not let any external pressure from any source, be it your friends or the salesman, influence what you buy. Instead of asking everyone, ask yourself. If at all you think that you are unable to set aside your emotions while the making the decision, get a second opinion from an expert you would trust. Beware of the return policy - Consider buying from sources that offer its customers with a valid return policy. This will provide you with the benefit of getting a hands-on experience of your purchase, and then decide whether you want to stick to it.Avoid paradox of choice - Once you are done with a deal, don't venture elsewhere, comparing it with the other deals available. This was the exercise you were supposed to perform before cutting the deal. Finding better deals would make you feel worse.  <Questions>  1. About how much do you usually spend each day? 2.
