The Impulsive Spender

The Impulsive Spender spends most of their money on impulse- meaning that the purchases were not planned in advance. The purchases made are the result of the item; not a result of the emotions felt with the item. Purchases made may have unique characteristics or have an element of scarcity.

Three Tips To Deal With Spending As An Impulsive Spender

1. Make Sure It’s A Planned Purchase

Impulsive buys are bought ‘on impulse.’ To avoid these purchases, make sure the item you intend to purchase was one you planned on purchasing that day prior to seeing the item

2. Put It On Hold

Make a rule that you have to wait 24 hours before you purchase something. Place the item on hold, and if you still want it and are willing to go back and purchase it than chances are you really want the item

3. Create A ‘Buying Benchmark’

Creating a buying benchmark, or a standard that must be met before you purchase an item. An example of a buying benchmark would be: Love item as is and love the item on me (not just a fashion trend on a mannequin) and will use it now (as opposed to after I lose weight)
