Hi, my name is Alexa and I am an impulse buyer. I mean, at least I can admit that I have a serious problem, and I know I am not the only one who suffers from "I see it, I love it, I want it, I get it" syndrome. I also have zero concept of money and how to save, because I live for the instant gratification of a terrific purchase. And by a terrific purchase I mean anything from a Star Wars kiddie up to a $150 pair of Nikes.

Now I'd like to make a list of things you should NEVER say or ask to an impulse buyer such as myself:

1. "Do you REALLY need it?"

Yes. Of course I do. And you questioning me as to why I need that 53 inch teddy bear or not is not going to change my mind.

2. "HOW much money did you spend on that?"

A) It is none of your business and B) I probably forgot because when I swipe my card I look away to avoid seeing my money leaving my hand.

3. "Hey, lets go to Target!"

Target is the place where my wallet goes to die. It's like a drug that feeds my overspending addiction. Do not be the enabler.

4. "Why did you buy that Piñata for your dorm room?"

Do NOT question my purchases, and your judgment does not phase me. I get everything for a reason, no matter how dumb that item may be.

5. "Why do you throw away your money like that?"

I work my butt off to make money, so if I want to throw it away on junk, LET ME THROW IT AWAY ON JUNK.

6. "You better marry rich or else you'd be doomed."

Uhm, no? I am going to make bank on my own and I don't need anyone else's money to sustain my constant need to spend money.

7. "Why don't you wait for a sale?"

Who cares if I'll save 50 cents if I wait a week? I want it and I want it now, I'm basically a grown version of the brat from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

8. "Do you have any money saved?"

Of course I do. I may be irresponsible when it comes to money but that doesn't mean I'm downright stupid. Gosh.

9. "How do you even have money left?"

That is a question that only God himself could answer. Or my parents.
