Having bought things you couldn’t afford but were too attracted by? (9)
I believe the answer is:
overdrawn
'having bought things you couldn't afford' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'were too attracted by?' is the wordplay.
'were too' becomes 'over' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'attracted' becomes 'drawn' ('draw' can be a synonym of 'attract').
'by?' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'over'+'drawn'='OVERDRAWN'
'but' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overdrawn that I've seen before include "Cartoonishly exaggerated" , "The big spender's account may be so" , "venturing into red" , "bust?" , "got into debt" .)
