This saves me from impulse buying as well.Quarterly they offer different 5% cash back specials.

I think the hardest sacrifice for me was not allowing myself to spend money frivolously or impulse buy just because I can.

Impulsive and emotion influenced decisions can be detrminental, and I'm sure you want to start off right :)

Jayyyyyyyy....did you just impulsively put an offer on this thing?!?!

It was probably the most expensive impulse buy of my life, but I wanted to start taking action as a newbie in RE investing.

It's only worth what people are willing to pay, which is why your house here has been on market so long.If you are absolutely in love with it then snatch it up, love isn't logical and you must act on impulse if it's really love, but if you want to make an investment then run the numbers. 

It seems to have been an impulsive and quite speculative purchase - like friends pooling money together to buy a ton of lotto tickets... 

I'm also fine with idea of saving money that I would have spent on impulse for things like a fast-food stop, a small shopping trip or a night out.

I might get an impulse occasionally to buy a Ferrari for cash.

Knee jerked on purchase as I was tired of procrastinating and impulse bought it honestly Lessons learned?
