Impulse buy

Have u ever bought something that once u've got it in your hand... after a short while, u've realized that u're probably better off without it in the first place. That guilt feeling, yes... impulse buy... is what we're talking about here. Be it big purchase or small, gadgets or clothes, they come in all forms and prices. One thing's for sure, u should have thought and rethink bout before making the purchase.

I've been a 'victim' of this bad habit for quite a while now, ever since i've got my first pay... i've made a lot of impulse buy over the years... including having a small aquarium tank to keep those salt water fishes, buying rabbit, some other gadgets and also models alike that i really wish i never have bought them in the first place. Sometimes when u really wanted to pamper yourself with these gifts... u can almost hear them calling out to u.. 'come.... buy me.. u know u wanna.... dun kid yourself.... u deserved it!'. But then...do u really?

But then i've kinda found a sort of 'counter measure' to these bad habit, i know not many of u have this habit but u can't deny that there will be a lot of us who have had it in some point in our lives. Ok, here's how. Imagine, u've seen that pretty dress or nice cellphone that u really wanted... just so u know whether u really need it or not? try this... hold off that initial temptation and give yourself a certain period of time...say 2 weeks or even 2 months. Then rethink again... do u still have the urge to buy them now? if yes... then u've probably can't really hold off for this round...what i can say is.... good luck! hahaha, happy parting with your hard earn money for that satisfaction!

All in all, just be wise in spending your hard earn money... note to self too: control impulse buy from now onwards! ; )
