Do you buy things on impulse?

[Shortie⁷'s iconShortie⁷]

I have in the past been known to buy things on impulse but I have gotten better at buying on impulse and will only buy if I really feel I could make use of what I am buying.

It's a habit you can fall into so easily but not one you can get out of as easy.

I have always avoided impulse buying since when I started working for money and I always became broke before months end. I had to sit down and talk to myself to improve on my purchasing choices.

Actually I think buying on impulse does not happen to me because before I get to the market I scheduled what ever I want to buy the moment I finished then I leave.

One problem I have is that once I go to the market, I tend to buy things that I don't really need. I will set my eyes on them and be like "alright I'm buying it".
Then when I get home I begin to regret buying it because I don't need it, I just bought it on impulse. Does that happen to you too?

Being that I know how difficult it is to make money, I can never be spending my money on anything without actually having a serious need for it.

I can never purchase anything on impulse as far as I'm concerned.

Making a budget of what to purchase can help you plan better. This is how I approach making purchases and it has helped me not to get items that I have zero plans of buying whenever that I am out there shopping.

Was the same when I first got a credit card, essentially maxed it out very shortly. Luckily for me there wasn't that high of a limit but it did teach me a valuable lesson though. I'm much more frugal these days but, I still have that urge for an impulse buy occasionally.
