buyer's remorse 

when one buys an item and feels regret about the purchase soon thereafter. while buyer's remorse is normally restricted to expensive purchases that have probably busted the buyer's budget, this sentiment can also occur when a person buys a totally useless and inappropriate item.

This is not to be confused with winner's curse.
Karl: Chris has a serious case of buyer's remorse coming up pretty soon.

Ryan: Really? What makes you say that?

Karl: He just bought a silly ass Dontrelle Marlins jersey just bc it costs $30. Wait until he realizes that instead of buying something that will only make him look stupid if he ever actually wears it, he could have just saved; that dude loves saving money.

buyer's remorse 

The phenomenon of girls with low self-esteem who jump into bed with men (or women) they barely know, then afterwards are so filled by regret and disappointment and loneliness that they in some way try to justify their behavior by claiming that they were taken advantage of and didn't make a conscious personal choice.
"Well why did you sleep with him/her if it makes you this upset? Didn't you want to?"
"I...I don't know if I wanted to...I feel like I was taken advantage of."

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
