Which route would you take: Buying new shoes or paying the phone bill?

Question

I try to be responsible but sometimes the shoes call me. Especially if they fit perfectly.

Answer 1

Um... the phone bill. You need to pay that or your credit will get bad. If the credit gets bad then you won't be able to buy anymore shoes. Who cares about shoes that will probably be out of style in a season or two anyway?

Answer 2

Ok this is a tricky one. Because the perfect fit on a shoe can be very hard to find! So if you absolutely need the pair of shoes, call your phone company and see if they can put an extension on your due date. (they do that sometimes) but if you are already behind on you phone bill, then you should pay your bill, or at least put something on it.
If these are shoes that you would wear just about everyday then I say get the shoes, and pay your bill a little late, they aren't gonna cut your phone off for being late. And if you can put something on your bill. I know that stores aren't willing to hold a pair of shoes until your next pay check especially if its two weeks away. Always take good care of your feet and teeth, those are the most painful parts of your body when you get old, a lot of elderly people have problems with their feet & teeth, so take care of yours now!

Answer 3

Been there - done that. I love shoes.

Are the shoes very expensive? Maybe you can buy the shoes and pay half of the phone bill. Knowing that you have to pay the entire bill come next month regardless of the shopping temptation.

Or is Lay-away an option........do stores still have that???
Hope it works out.

Answer 4

The phone bill comes first...always. We have to be responsible for our own debts. The shoes will be there next week. If you start to control yourself now, you will have bigger rewards in the future. Pay the bill then go try on shoes. You will feel better in the end, trust me. Good luck☺

Answer 5

well that would depend on whether or not you can use the shoes to make a phone call if you have an emergency or something in which case i will say if the shoe fits and can function as a phone which lets face it we all need, then by the shoe......

Answer 6

Be responsible pay your bill. Shoes are not messing up your credit, but the phone bill is. & a messed up credit is something that takes a while to fix :-)

Answer 7

id have to say pay the phone bills first because you can save your money after that and buy the shoes...but if you buy the shoes first and spend all your money you can end up putting your self in debt!!!!!!! and u really dont want to that because your whole financial rep will b a mess!!!!!

Answer 8

Pay the phone bill and wait till the shoes are on sale....

Answer 9

pay the phone bill----that way you are still able to call your friends from the mall and tell them about the cute pair shoes they should come out and buy since you wont be able to now.

Answer 10

It depents.
1. Do you really need the shoes?
2. Is the phone less important than your shoes?

If you have the answer to these question, you have the right answer!

Good luck
