    My worst was 2 ct diamond earrings. Nice shiny and pretty, until I go to sell them, and realize cluster diamonds aren't as valuable as solitaire.

    impulsive, stupid things are usually the kinds of things people like to spend the most money on..when you market, you market to emotions, not logic. like me, when i get extra money i always buy hair/skin/nail treatments or products even if they do no good just like my eyelash extensions..250 for worse eyelashes than i normally had

    Getting my hair done in a salon. Its never what I want and usually ugly.

    Used to be pricey cosmetics, but not I don't buy any unless I NEED it and I know I like it (or can return it if I don't).

    My car. I know I need it, but it's too powerful, drinks too much fuel, my insurance is ridiculous and I am petrified everytime I step in the car. Considering selling for something with a little less power.

    My 2400 Jimmy Choo bag. I get tons of compliments on it but the thing is poorly constructed( you can't find shit in it, things just disappear) and now I noticed it has a huge chunk out of the corner, like it will be a hole soon. I didn't pay full price( I'd never spend that on a purse) but for 2400 retail you'd think the fucken thing would be made better! Now I can't even sell it for a decent price!

    “The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around like rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

    Maybe consider getting some advanced driving classes so you build confidence and 'use the tool as it's meant to be used'?! Many car clubs offer inexpensive 'driver education' track days... (At least here in US, can't speak for across the pond...) Plus it would provide great 'talking points' for convo starters w/ dudes... ;-)

    I used to be terrible about buying the 'deals' on the HSN or QVC channels. The last thing I bought from them was one of those memberships to their food of the month clubs.

    It was some sort of workout where they started off with a "10-pound loss in 4 days" sort of thing. But the program for that was working out 3-4 times a day and following a strict diet of less than a 1000 calories. Well, duh you're gonna lose 10 pounds in 4 days doing that lol But I don't really think that's healthy.

    The rest of the program was designed so you only had to workout 3 days a week for 20 minutes. And it got progressively harder each week. Maybe the workout would've been good for someone that wasn't really used to exercising or had a long ways to go so they needed the build-up or the weird 4-day diet. But I already had a good routine down and only wanted to lose like 10 pounds. So the diet made me really weak, and the first couple weeks of the program just didn't feel intense enough for me.

    Maybe it wasn't the fault of the workout, but I personally shouldn't have bought it lol

    ^ The one I bought the workouts where intense 45 minute workouts and at that time I went to the gym frequently and had been working out for years and they were hard to get through. I never follow diets in those things as I'm already skinny but those firm workouts alone are kick butt! I had the step thing with mine ( pretty high when stacked) and you had to do these one leg step ups over and over ( I used 10 pound weights during the whole thing) and those were hard as hell but made your ass look great!

    When I bought 4 Maine Lobsters and 2 bottles of Pink Brut Champagne for Christmas even though it was just my mother and I celebrating. So I was eating lobster everyday into the new year. Plus eating lobster and drinking Pink Brut Champagne can give you a headache. I know my mother had a huge one LOL

    This wasn't "exactly" an impulse buy because I'd been eyeing it for several months. Yes, a first year of a new version of a popular sports car. (Still have it, but not without some expen$ive repairs , and some aggravation). When I first saw it hit the showroom floor, I knew that it was for me, but the logical side of my brain balked at the 1st year model $$ markups by the dealers. Then, there was the CW about not buying a first year model, buy later models to let them work out the bugs. I kept looking, but not nibbling. As the model year ended, the dealer markups dissappeared, many even started discounting on price. I still kept looking, but the color, or option package weren't quite to my liking. One sunny weekend, saw the color/option package that I liked, and it was all over. Looking back, I wish I'd waited a little longer for 2nd year model to come out.

    Funny thing is, a new version of this car has just come out- I've been taking some "casual" glances at new model. Well, at least I haven't splurged on a Manhattan club VIP room. Who wants to take wagers on what happens first- The new first year model sports car, or a Manhattan club VIP...
    I'm right 96% of the time. I don't sweat the other 5% .......................

    A car without AC is taking the cake right now. I had enough cash on me at the time to buy it right away and have been regretting it since. I think I'm getting it fixed in a few days though!
