  • Impulse shopping is a one of the few bad habits I picked up after getting my first job. It's a burden I carried with me for many years, until I finally took a hard look at my finances. Since then I've developed a couple key habits for fighting the urge to buy things that I don't need. And today I'm excited to share the 5 ways I avoid impulse shopping.

    Good thoughts, Drew. Thank you. As a retired teacher, I am learning that I simply can't buy everything I want.
    One thing that has helped me is actually revisiting things I already own. Too often, I forget I may have something buried in my closet that will satisfy the "itch" of getting something new.
    It's rediscovery, if you will. So I find something new and think, "Whoa... this is pretty cool. I want to play with it a bit."
    Unrelated - do you use a teleprompter? You're very articulate in your speaking and I was just curious if you use a teleprompter, as it's something I've been considering.
    Thanks again for the video. Looking forward to the next one.

      Such a great perspective, Ted! Finding something you forgot about is always invigorating and definitely scratches that itch for me. As for your teleprompter question, nope! I do script out my videos but I just do multiple takes until I get it right! Voiceovers are read word for word though :)

    What's something you impulse bought? For me, it's multiple sweatshirts and coffee equipment, for sure. Keen to hear your thoughts!
