buyer remorse
Post-purchase second thoughts
Buyer remorse is regret after making a purchase, the nagging feeling you made a mistake or spent unwisely.
The emotion typically sets in shortly after buying something significant—a car, a house, an expensive gadget: Buyer remorse hit as soon as I drove off the lot.
Also called buyer's remorse.
