Impulsive and regret

MrsG

Hi, I'm not sure if this is just me but I seem to be too impulsive when making financial decisions.  I make bad judgements when it comes to over-spending and I'm just wondering if there are other people who do similar.  It's almost like I think like a child and don't consider the consequences of my spending.  I'm 45 and married but my parents have had to bail me out financially so many times.

  • thats retail therapy, the effect of raised mood from spending on things that think will bring you happiness but after you spend you realise the material thing you brought is garbage and you didnt need it and the money was better than it. we have a materialist sales culture that uses this mentality to rob us of our excess wealth for the sake of keeping the economy going.

    I can definitely relate to the feeling of being impulsive with money and the regret that comes along with it. It sounds like you're aware of the impact that your spending habits have on your finances and on your relationships. It's great that you're looking for ways to improve and change your behavior. It's normal to feel regret over missed opportunities, but it's important to remember that you can still make positive changes and create new opportunities for yourself. This means setting goals and working towards them, instead of feeling stuck in the past. Try to make amends for your mistake and learn from it.
