I worked with a guy who actually ruined his family life,his financial life and his health by by impulsive buying. We all earned over $100,000 a year and he spent it and more for over 30 years. It took such a toll on his wife(who also worked) that she left a long term marriage and he ended his working career with nothing. Seek help if you recognize that there is a problem with this compulsive habit and you will end up with a much more satisfying life.
 A few of his workmates are are very well off today and living the dream, while he works part time at odd jobs when he feels good enough.
