Prompt#24: Impulse Buying.

The causes and effects of the impulse buying could range from a variety of things. I think one of the causes of impulse buying is that the person could just have to much money and have nothing to do with it. And if they don’t give it to charities or something, then they would just spend it on unnecessary things. Another cause could be that it’s a family passed on issue that the person observed from their parents at a young age and picked it up as they got older. Another cause just could be that the person is just a dedicated shopper that will buy anything that they want to own. I would go as far to classify it as a disease now because so many people live with it in our generation.

The effects of impulse buying is that it could leave you broke and destroy your life. It could leave you broke because you could spend literally all of your money on worthless materialistic items. It could destroy your life because it could tear you and your family apart, it could make you lose your house and other valuable goods and items. You could start stealing money from people to fill your hunger and need for money to continuously buy things. Impulse buying could cause mental and physical damage to you. Impulse buying could make you do a lot of things that you will eventually regret later on in your life.

Overall I think impulse buying is a bad quality to have seeing all the negative effects of it affect on you more than the positive effects of it if it has any. I’m glad I don’t know anybody that has it because I wouldn’t know how to deal with it as there friend or family member. That’s all I feel about the issue of impulse buying.
