Money Cone: 9 Impulse Buys that Turned Out Better than Expected We’ve all bought stuff based on commercials that turned out nothing like how it was advertised. Sometimes we buy stuff on a whim, only to be disappointed later. But not all my impulse buys have been duds. That man was Steve Jobs. Shamwow guy, you listening?)

We have an occasional squabble here and there, but I'll be very honest and upfront with you, we do not argue about money. Although, it wasn't always that way.

Why shouldn’t we take that overseas vacation, buy that luxury condo at the lake, get new clothes every change of season, have that spiffy new car? During the long 7 years since the crisis, many people lost jobs and houses. Even today, many are still unemployed or underemployed. Why stay the course? Why should you keep saving?

I buy my supplies there and I buy clothes, jewelry and handbags there as well. In fact, the main reason I keep up the shop is so that I can have some spending money. I put almost everything I make on Etsy, back into Etsy. Since Nathan has been unemployed and money has been really tight, that flow has been invaluable to me.

This outfit is not anything new, I’ve just changed up the accessories I choose. I got these little tassels from a jewelry supply just to make earrings from. It was mostly about the shoes.

Needless to say, getting an equitable divorce in 1966 was no small feat and becoming a single mom, supporting 4 kids, buying a house, a new car, and being completely financially independent was herculean.

I still remember one Thanksgiving during that period of unemployment when our church gave one of the food baskets for the needy to us. Of those who take the SNAP challenge, the most common complaint is how difficult it is to buy fresh fruits and veggies as well as meat on such a limited food budget.

Be very clear of your motives before buying something. What you have leftover is how much you can spend. Put some money aside for savings and food. How do you want to distribute the rest so you are spending money how you want to? You got divorced, had medical bills, or were unemployed. Life stinks sometimes. You are competitive.

By requiring them to pay rent or buy groceries, it helps to instill a sense of responsibility and how much it costs to run a household.
