Recall an occasion when you experience cognitive dissonance about a purchase. describe the event and explain what you did about it.

One example of this could be the purchase of a new vehicle. The dissonance would occur when you are thinking that you may have spent too much money on the vehicle or didn't really need it. However, by realizing that this vehicle will last longer than an older model, on average, and will require less upkeep, the dissonance can be abated.
