She views it as me being impulsive and reckless with money. 

I am not an impulse anything.

The market is crazy and it would be best to buy, but without knowing the area and the short time frame with the military we just don’t think it would be smart to make an impulse purchase. 

However, your impulse to invest for passive CF is right on – that’s how we achieve financial freedom.

I actually have a little bit of management experience, and I believe I'm fully capable of making wise decisions and not acting impulsively and destructively, but my peers often give me a reputation that's very hard to break.

It will take time and it sux, cuz I want it now..which is the impulse I have to curb so I dont get in over my head.

I want the kids to have plenty to do outside so they don't get stuck in the American way of wasting away in front of the TV.This is not an impulse buy, we have been talking about for over a year.  

She understands that I'm not just doing something risky and impulsive.

No hanging out, no impulse purchases, nothing.

Best way to prevent doing a bad deal or an impulse buy, is to know someone you can use as a sounding board or another set of eyes for anything you might be considering.If you want, send me a PM with your buying criteria and we might be able to help source you a property.
