Impulse purchase

What's the most expensive or unnecessary thing you have bought on impulse? For me it was a car. I bought it literally 45 minutes after seeing it. It left me broke for a WHILE.

Those two were my most $$$$$ impulse buys.

Subaru Forester. Woke up one day, said I think I'll look at cars. Drove home a brand new 2011 Limited Edition Subaru that night. Have not looked back since. Best impulse by ever.

Bought a '85 Pontiac Fiero V6 off of Craigslist. While it was an AWESOME car, and super fun, I realized that if it broke down I had NO IDEA how to fix it, and the parts would probably be hard to find. I sold it to a guy about a year later when the fuel injectors blew and I thought "yeah, this is probably just the beginning..."

I HAVE NO REGRETS THOUGH. That thing was boss.

Does it count as an impulse buy if in a month I'm taking few grand and buying the first motorcycle I like? Haha other wise I'd say the s10 I just traded/sold I didn't need a truck had a good car seen a nice lowered truck dropped just under three for it and now I traded it for a better gas millage car and a grand :( already miss my truck

May I reccomend a Yamaha V-Star 650 classic??

HAhaha I love mine. She is a head turner and I constantly get compliments on her.

Very very comfortable ride.

Is there any other type of buying other than impulse buying? Lol Jk but you know how us herpers can be...."I see, I want!"

I don't really impulse buy, I'm pretty good with money. Sometimes ill buy something i find without waiting too long, but its always something I've already been thinking a lot about getting. For example: I've been looking at buying a newer/better vehicle since the summer. So if i went to the dealership and came home with a new car then some people may consider that an impulse buy but imo it really isn't bc I've been planning on getting one for 6months now lol. I never *plan* on buying a new bp, but if i find a hot one at an expo that is on my short list I wont hesitate to get it. Imo thats not really an impulse purchase either bc I had already been thinking about getting it for awhile and knew what i was looking for.

I don't really impulse buy too much... However, about 5 years ago I went through some kind of "high on life" moment after being discharged from a scary 9 day hospital inpatient stint and ended up adopting two kittens and a buying a gaming laptop. The laptop served me pretty well but I probably would've gotten something more modest if I'd given myself more time. The kittens have since grown into 17-18lb twin monster cats but I love 'em dearly.
