When I look at my monthly statements,

I know exactly what I got for each debit entry.

I generally know how much things are.

Whenever I get something, I immediately think of what I had to give(time, money, presents) in order to get it.

While I consume something (e.g., put on my jeans, eat in a restaurant, drive a car), I am usually aware that it is not free.

The moment I am handing money over at a cash desk,

I am very much aware of what it is that I am spending money on.

When I talk about something I bought, thoughts of what this has cost me automatically come to mind.

I never think of the good side of something without associating it with its dark side also.

When I use a product, I spontaneously think of the costs coming along with that product.

After making a major shopping trip I usually know exactly how much I paid for each item purchased.

When I go shopping and see something that I would like to have, I immediatel7 try to find out how much it is

Thinking about th5 money in my purse makes me strongl7 think of the things I could get for this money2

As soon as I bought something, it skips my mind that I actually had to pay something for it

If something is really inconvenient and a lot of hassle, I will automatically also think of the benefits that come out of it#p#分頁標題#e#
 
Seeing something that belongs to me makes me think of what costs I had to incur for it

Whenever I give something, I also have on my mind what I will get for it 17. Psychological ownership. To which extent do you
