Just made my most expensive impulse buy in my life. Precision Matthews 11x27 metal lathe. This, some tooling and shipping just cost me close to $5k. Probably won't get here before Christmas, but it's something to look forward to.

In the meantime, I'm trying to come up with a work bench design that will hold up 1,200 pounds and something that can be leveled with absolutely zero tilt.

that's a bad ass lathe.

not an impluse buy, but slowly i've been buying my woodworking tools and it's getting expensive. From the planers to the clamps and vises, precision tools, and saws.

But it's worth it, when you see the look on clients faces and ultimately yourself, since you're the one who built it.

I bought a DVD recorder back in the early 2000's when they cost about $1000. The thing didn't even work, so I returned it. All for the best.
 
I went to help my sister buy a car back in 2004 and left with a brand new Nissan Titan that I'd had zero intention of buying. I was 24 and making 75 or 80k a year 2004 dollars ......but it was in hindsight pretty stupid.
 
A $1200 double stack 1911.

It's in .45 ACP too so when it's loaded it's like strapping a brick to my hip.
 
I'm always doing impulse buys. May not be the most expensive stuff, but I do it all the time.
Most recently:
Desktop PC around $1,500 (i7 8700K, 1TB SSD, GTX 1080TI, 32GB RAM)
Razer Blade 15 laptop: $2,500 (i7 8750H, 512GB SSD, GTX 1070)
Galaxy Note 9: $1,000 (845 Snapdragon CPU, 8GB RAM, 512 GB)
Samsung Tab S4: $800

All within the past 3 months or so.

Why don't you buy some cool shit? A motorcycle or an M1a or something? Going all in on computer shit is only gonna get you so far man
 
Like 500 bucks on Cocaine, and another 1000 on booze and escorts in Mexico. Totally worth it. I highly suggest everyone try it at least once.
 
A car. I had just bought a car a year ago, saw a good deal on an upgraded version. Traded my car in and paid the difference. Definitely didn't need to do it but I'm worth it.
 
Im far too cheap to impulse buy

I did buy a 200 dollar bluetooth speaker for work and it hurt my very soul to put the chip in and buy it
 
I usually do my research on things before i buy, so impulsive buying is not my thing normally. The only exception is when I travel. I’ve showed up at the airport and drpped thousands to ugrade to biusiness class in the last few years.
 
There's nothing scarier to me than a lathe. We have like 3 lathes where I work I've never been within like 20ft of them. I'm happy I'm management and white so if someone kills themselves on one of them I won't have to clean that shit up
