How Much Do You Spend on Impulse Buys Every Week?
That $10,000 Apple Watch has got everyone thinking about their finances. And, while that big of a purchase is out of reach for most of us, people on every budget are guilty of impulse buying!
A new study found the average person wastes $79 every week on impulse buys. That's about $4,100 per year . . . or $41,000 over the past decade. Imagine how much more money you'd have in the bank if you didn't buy impulsively!
The study also found you could spend $139 less every week just by cutting out little things . . . and it wouldn't even affect your lifestyle. That's about $7,200 per year you're wasting.
I'm not sure I believe that! I mean, if you cut $139 a week, you're gonna notice it somewhere, right?
Over HALF of people in the study said they can't resist spending money on little things . . . even though they don't have enough money at the end of the month to save.
Are you guilty? We talked about it on the show this morning and our callers said they buy stuff for their kids on a whim, and clearance rack finds.
I'm guilty of both!
