45 yrs ago, I quit a job on the spot when I wasn't given a position/promotion I was entitled to.  On the way home w/no other job on the horizon, on impulse I walked into a Coach store & purchased my first Coach pocketbook - $254.34.

Yes, I still have the pockebook to remind me how carefree & stupid I was "back in da day."

I love your story!  Oh to be young with no worries of what we are going to do tomorrow!

It reminds me of a friend who (many years ago) landed a job in Corporate America.  On her first day she went to lunch, realized the job was not a good fit, and never went back!

I've bid on things on eBay and prayed someone would outbid me, but it usually didn't happen.  I don't do that anymore.  I rarely to go ebay now.

NO buyer's remorse but some buyer's regret on some things I should have bought, but procrastinated and lost out.

I kick myself over two things:

I went back to school for a degree that is useless to me. Every waking  day I wish I had that money back.

The other is for something I did not buy. When I was in England I saw something called a pot lid, that had a skating scene glazed into it. I didn't buy it because my friend said it was overpriced due to it having ding on the underside.

I still think about it and regret not buying it because it was so unique and I've never come across it again.

Overall I think I get non-buyers remorse more than buyers remorse. I guess that's a good thing?

No buyers remorse but I sold 90% of my gold to US Gold buyers. I made great money but I wish I had kept 2 bracelets.

I went a bit crazy on jewelry purchases in my 40's....big heavy gold pieces when gold was going for 100 a gram. I never wore it.....so I sold it all when gold peaked and made a small fortune!.  Now I never buy jewelry......it was just a phase I went through.

@SeaMaiden   You're the smartest of all.  You made a bona-fide investment from which you got a nice return.

A couple years ago, I just HAD to have a Cricut.  I was fascinated by the infomercials and presentations on the Q. Or was it HSN?   I bought the cricut and several cartridges, extra cutting mats and other extras.   I just knew I was going to use it all the time to make decorations, cards, etch glass and all th other projects they would show.

I used it once to make a birthday card. And so it sits all lonely in my office with all the unused extras I bought for it.  What was I thinking??

While living overseas in the late nineties, I went crazy buying antiques and unique rustic items. We moved back to the states and built a new home. When the shipment of my treasures arrived, I took one look at it and thought, what in the world was I thinking ! Luckily, the local consignment shop agreed to take the whole kit and kaboodle. Still scratching my head on that one 😳

@Anita Hug   I've seen those presentations and can see where a person could easily fall prey to their extravagant claims of everlasting happiness at being able to hand-crafted your every need.  I resisted but it wasn't easy.  You could probably sell it easily.  I know people who would love to have one.
