I think that if we had back all the money that we've spent on what was a wonderful idea at the time--well, we'd have lots! :) And then turn around and spend it on other things.
It's very strange how something seems so perfect and just the thing at the time. Maybe, at the root, we're thinking, "I need more guilt in my life. I should buy that thing so I can feel guilty about not using it..."
Still, every once in a while, you really do find just the thing, and you never know ahead of time, not for sure, anyway. Funny, in a way.
