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.

  • A lot of times, I think 'oo I want/need that'. I then pause and think, 'hmm, what else is going on with me atm?' ...usually, I'm feeling stressed, of lonely, or a similar state of mind, and then  able to rethink I'd I actually need it.

    Also, if I see an advert for something and think 'i need that', 99% of the time I don't. 

    Life rule: if it is advertised, you don't need it.
