Yes when I spend money on something I really want. I feel more "important" if I spend lots at once too, but I don't really do that unless I have the money and have planned the event.

Of course! But generally it follows by a sense of guilt knowing that I should be spending that money on something like paying a bill... it's a vicious cycle really :(

I only spend money once all those other things are paid. Then, I can feel good about my purchases. And most times, I find that I don't really need the things I think I want.

Not really, i really wanted this headband and i bought it and i am not really feeling better.
In one case, i worked long and hard hours to earn money for a phone, and now that i bought it i feel GREAT about it.
So basiclly if someone works hard for something, they get something more out of spending money. If someone just buys something, they feel fine, but feel like they are throwing their money away.

No. I used to, but then I noticed that I usually lose interest once I have it, so I've changed my spending habits and only buy something for myself if I need it, or if it's something that I want for sentimental value and know I'll love forever.

Sometimes I just go out on a spending spree and it is such a rush...I usually spend all my money on bills or my kids, so it's fun to just do a day for me.....

Not really... I feel like I have participated in the proliferation of capitalism and exploitative trade relationships. Usually, I just feel guilty.
