Impulse Buying

I've just bought an 8350 (like, 5 minutes ago) literally 'just because'. I'm terrible for impulse buys; my chair, my phone, chocolate, my graphics card, chocolate, and chocolate. All of which I purchased because I thought: "Meh, I want it."

 

How many of the LTT community are impulse buyers like me? What have you bought recently out of sudden inspiration to spend money?

"I'd like to own my own business when I grow up, what do you want to do?" - "I wanna be a MILF!"

You needn't have a lot of money to impulse buy!

 

It could be the day after pay-day, you've got some spare cash and think "Yeah I'm totally gonna buy that Bluetooth fridge."

"I'd like to own my own business when I grow up, what do you want to do?" - "I wanna be a MILF!"

Do it all the time. I have 4 desks in my place and only need one. been trying to sell the others which aren't even 3 months old. I find it hard to be satisfied with what I have.

My brother is just like you, he's been saving for 5-6 years now, and he's finally thinking of buying a phone (Nexus 5)  :)

As for me...

Mmm I wouldn't call myself an impulse buyer,  I save a lot more money then I spend, but when I do see something I want I do buy it without hesitation.

When I look at stuff on Amazon, and then late at night the fuckers send me an email saying "Still looking for this?"

 

Amazon, you bastards.

I like to think I don't Impulse buy but in reality the only time I ever think about buying something overnight is when I have something VERY similar and ask myself do I really need it. Or the price is above $400

Sounds like someone needs some self control.

 

 

 

Who am I kidding? If I have extra money I'll buy something I want but I'd never put myself into financial trouble for an item. It's just not worth the anxiety.
