Opportunity Cost

         I bought a new pair of shoes from DSW that I totally convinced myself I would wear, I was looking at them in my closet this morning and realized that I've only worn them once for maybe about two hours.  I thought to  myself that I should have not impulse bought these shoes because I could have spent my 75 dollars in a better way by buying dinner or putting some in my college fund and then going out for coffee and treating my friend to a latte too. By making this purchase I didn't gain really anything.  I looked nice the first time I wore them but my feet hurt really bad after I was done in them. In the future I could buy a really expensive car. Although this car would be luxurious, I could buy a way better car that would fit my kids more comfortable and last me many years.  Plus, it would probably have a lot of storage space unlike some cars that are only seat two and have no trunk space.
