Leverage humans’ predictable irrationality:Certain tactics, such as the creation of artificial deadlines, or the establishment of extreme anchor values, can cause people to respond in an impulsive and irrational manner.

This had to be one of the most impulse purchases I have ever done.

The rent for that townhome has risen dramatically, but it's still only around $1,000 a month which isn't even half-way to the 1% rule needed to make a decent investment.These prices don't make sense, people are impulse buying, and I don't see how it's sustainable.

It’s basically our tendency to overestimate our ability to resist temptation, to control our impulsive behavior.

@Alex Houser expanding on what @Nathan G. said, which is solid gold by the way, there is some missing information in this data to make an analysis beyond impulse decisions from ideals vs numbers. 

About a year and a half ago (with much less knowledge than I have now) I made an impulse buy and purchased a 3b condo out of state. 

Remember, don't make impulsive decisions.Best Regards,Kate Bell

I'm 25 years old & I've managed to become debt free & save a little over 30k, simply by having the discipline to follow a budget, not making impulse purchases, and by cutting down my bills and saving a little money here & there; whether that's collecting all that pesky pocket change over the years, to seizing small money making opportunities on the side .

I almost bought it on impulse but I figured some feedback here would not hurt.

And when doubt creeps in or direction is lost or impatience is leading to impulsivity, you have at your fingertips that solid plan built in a solid emotional state to refer to for motivation and reassurance.
