I use to be quite bad making impulse buys as well. But in the past 2 years, I have been a lot better. Having bigger goals, like buying a new car or a new house really help you stay focus on the bigger picture. So I would say that making a bigger more detailed plan for the future as keep me on track and I have saved a lot overall. Great post. I use to be quite bad making impulse buys as well.

He is still pretty bad, but he can afford to come home with things he wasn't planning on buying. Nevertheless, my Mom trys to discourage this by doing all the shopping herself. Although I always knew I had this bad habit, it never really bothered me until I met my husband. He is very financially minded and when we got engaged I had to make some major changes. I am happy to report that I have been cured - I no longer make impulse purchases because I always think about what else that money could be used for. And these three points are great advice.
