    I am sure most females eyeing something shiny would consider themselves to be doing all of those things in a jewelry store, so yeah some sexism showing. Have you ever seen some men who walk into a gun shop or gun show or car show and act the way you suggest women and cats do? what about those shiny objects.~ Gee the newest Barrett 50 caliber with radar sensing and tracing with a moose sling and shell catcher....Gotta have one to go rabbit hunting before my buddies buy one. I don't even need to talk about all of the shiny bullion people buy, because the world will fall apart and only my gun and bullion will save me. People impulse buy for all sorts of reasons, that is why there are candy bars and junk on the checkout stand. But really we don't have to imply that people or animals do not have reasons , but is just attracted to it.
    Lets all let this go, Thanks Jim

    Yep, I used to make quite a bit of impulse buy's. That said, you kinda grow out of it, at least that would be my hope. :D I like to make sure that my resale value puts me in the winner's seat, so I steer clear of all the bs. That said, some collectors buy into all the hoopla type buys like those Gawd awful zombucks! :D I've never ever bought one of those and I hope nobody else does either but it's their money, not mine. ;) s-lerdtfr1600.jpg ;)

    I found the referenced quote hilarious, as my life is based on pragmatism, where I have no credit because I purchase everything with a virtually instant payment. I've a panoramic outlook on life, constantly searching for that unplanned event, resulting in a positive outcome better than the average competitor.

    I must be "good with money", as I haven't a source for borrowing, other than my reserves, and liquidation capabilities.

    I've a very fluidic life, being responsible for lesser capable individuals, who aren't able to objectively make decisions for themselves because of understanding limitations.

    While most are planning, I'm virtually instantaneously acting upon the objects of their plans.

    I'm sitting here at 0130 hours making plans for acquisition of a desirable $20 Gem PQ coin that a very prominent dealer/owner told me had been sold when I ordered the coin upon his immediate site listing. I located the "sold" coin with a too great initial bid offering on the dealers/firms eBay site. I contacted a dealers company unintimidated minion, who sold me the coin at a less than eBay listing reasonable price for my "check" payment.

    The coin purchase funds will be withdrawn from my annual tax payment reserve account. I also will withdraw/transfer funds for another dealers very scarce PQ CACed $20 coin which the different seller believes will command a greater final bid than my previously offered 2 bids greater than his initial listing price, and my reasonable final "Snipe".

    I'll potentially pay a lesser IRS "penalty" than the perceived potential additional value of the 2 double eagles. Life can be very interesting when having a Panoramic impulse attitude.

    If we had another "sickness" event, would we hesitate to act? Why would this be of a lower priority? I may have improper prioritization "illness", but it has worked for me when my "partner" has a higher priority. Always and all ways!!

    JMHO

    I have made far too many purchases that I've regretted on impulse, so I've stopped doing it.

    Don't know how else to say it other than: what a terrible and condescending post. Acting on impulse in any way is human nature and doesn't define an individual as a whole. You can be amazing with your money and still make impulse decisions with it the two things aren't mutually exclusive.
