Got any deals? I'm looking for a new phone and a camera
Seriously though, I pay off my bills every month and lock all the extra cash away in various forms of investments and GICs, and it's all set up and automated, so the bottom line is that it's a hassle for me to take out any extra cash to finance any impuslsive buys, and as a result, I rarely engage in such practice. My last impulse buy wasn't really an impulse buy, it was a necessity buy that ended up with a lot of impulse options...i.e. was gonna buy a $25000 car and ended up spending thousands more for one that's loaded to the gills. I don't regret it one bit though, it makes the daily commute a lot more tolerable, heck, even enjoyable sometimes.
