does anyone feel like they've spent too much money?

Mostly I feel badly for buying such an expensive luxury item when there are people in this world who have difficulty affording necessities. Especially considering that I am currently attending an expensive college:\. Mayhaps, though, I will donate a set percentage of my earnings to a good cause in order to assuage my bleeding heart? We're not monks, after all, and these dolls do seem to bring an almost unbelievable amount of happiness^_^.

 

I'm ok. Just so long as I don't think about it to much (like how much cool loli/punk clothing I could get for what my Delf El is going to set me back)

I get by looking at is like this; This is my doll money. This money won't work on anything but dolls.

This is my lolita/punk/fruits/cosplay/life money. This money won't work on anything but lolita/punk/fruits/life. Since I have no life (ie; can't drive) things are pretty easy. ^-^;;

So yeah, as long as I feel there's a balance (Ex: I have nice things and my doll has nice things) I'm good. But sometimes thinking about all the dolls I want and how much I want to spoil them makes me lay awake at night and wonder about myself.

 

I KNOW that I've spent too much money but I don't feel guilty about it. I figure once the bills are paid, the rest is fair game. Since I don't really indulge in anything else & the dolls bring me joy, well, I treat myself probably more than I should. Still, sometimes I think that I could have fixed a few things around the house instead but with 3 cats, new carpeting & a new sofa aren't really wise investments anyway.

 

I always feel like I've spent too much and I haven't even spent anything yet! But I assume that feeling goes away once my 70cm god of hotness shows up on my doorstep...

Though I'm really silly about the clothes. I don't want my doll to wear anything more expensive than what I wear... I guess it's some weird way of trying to shut up my monetary conscience...

 

Oh I always feel guilty about it!
The dolls, the clothes, the time spent with them.
I just bulldoze the feelings though and suck it up.

 

It's sure, I have spent too much money for them.

And I try to control myself, but I always see anything would fit perfectly to them...
And stopping going on websites isn't efficient, 'cuz each time I go in an IRL shop I see something for them...

*I'll finish to stay at home 24/24, 7/7 XD*

 

Dolls are my only luxury I feel guilty spending, but after I get the items, I wouldn't dream of selling them.

 

I really try not to think about it too much. There's always something else the money could go for, but I'm pretty certain it wouldn't make me nearly as happy

 

I just realized how much I've spent on doll clothes and dolls in past 2 months, ...and it's kinda disgusting. about $1600-1700 without even thinking! the worst is without thinking part. It's just so dangerous. I've never done that for myself!

I tell myself NEVER AGAIN!!! .......until next unoa boy pre order starts!!!

 

I don't have a credit card, I don't have an over draft, I have no debt, and my bills are paid, anything I spend after that is fair game and I refuse to feel guilty about it Buying something like a doll that holds it value has GOT to be better than drinking or smoking the cash afterall!

 

Nah, every penny I spent was worth it, and the few times it wasn't I just resold what ever it was to get my money back.

Sera~

 

LOL! I'm sorry but I find the title of this thread funny, because I always feel I'm spending too much money on my resin but I keep doing it anyway.

 

I just spent nearly a month's pay on a doll. I feel it's too much money yeah! (Must add, though I work full time it's not where my living money comes from, it's just where my 'pocket money' comes from. I don't want anyone to think I starve to have dolls XD)

 

Well I'm very picky about how I spend my money. So I usually take a week to think about buying something. And if I forget that I even want it then that's good. But if I keep thinking about it then I set up a plan to buy it.

 

Yes, I've spent too much money. Thousands of dollars. Lots on clothes and wigs and eyes... Just buying the dolls gets you into a thousand or two or three...

I may enjoy it all, I may plan and save and think about it--but it's a lot of money--and definitely (to me) too much. I need to cut down on spending.

 

I've spent this money slowly over years, so it doesnt feel to frivolous...

but when you add it all together, if I was to sell everything I had doll-wise for what I originally paid for it or more...
that's a lot of money!!! things really add up!
so in a way, yes, I've spent too much. ha...

I am definitely spending much less than I used to, as I'm not really buying dolls anymore, or at least I'm actively trying not to. and many types of outfits I wanted, I already have. but yeah... it's hard!

 

i have to plan where and how much money to spend on when there's a lot(of money) required for cosplay and sub-culture fashion. but spending too much money on my dolls can be a little bad for me since i'll have cosplay debts later... ><;

 

All the time and there's always that sense of guilt or frivolty for spending so much on something that's not an everyday essential. I reprimanded myself constantly whenever I purchased things for my dolls that cost more than their human counterparts but then I guess I'll never change for want of beautiful stuffs.

 

I hadn't felt guilty until this past month... I splurged and bought one new full doll, plus two bodies for floating heads. When you add the new clothes/eyes/wigs for them, it came up to a pretty hefty total (even though many of the items were on sale or less expensive options to begin with). Though I love my purchases, I wish I'd spread them out a bit so my budget isn't quite so strained at the moment. >_<

 

yes I do, and I don't even buy that much stuff... but then I think... I don't really buy stuff for myself that often, I don't have expensive hobbies or habits (such as smoking or drinking ) So... if it makes me happy that's what money is for

So long as I still have the money for more important things in life (and I would never spend more than I can) the things I buy for my doll are like little gifts to myself, everybody deserves gifts
