TOPIC | How do you stop impulse buys?
1 2 3 4 5
> vault all treasure and gems
> Forget you had treasure and gems after a week
> make more money
> vault that too
> profit?

Having a goal or a budget helps a LOT with impulse spending. Having both is even better I keep telling myself " do not buy this until this is reached" and "only spend 30% of your earnings." the last impulse purchase I had was... probably a year ago? And the desire has mostly been pulled from my body. It also helps that I forget I have treasure and gems since I vault nearly everything.

I'm also incredibly picky with my dragons and their colors, so it lowers impulse spending even more unless it's a beautiful beach child I absolutely NEED.

I only buy dragons up to 10kt so that if I impulse buy and regret it, I can train and exalt without a loss.
Other than that, it helps having lair restrictions. I don't buy non-Nature dragons anymore, except for breeding (and later exalting).

Tips from Beetlefix:

> DON'T LOOK IN THE AH/SCRY ANYMORE™
Because, well, within Auction House you get the impulse buys. When it comes to scry, you might make a beautiful dragon and be like "oh my Deities I need that". Don't, just, don't.

> Stay away from Dragon Sales, please
That's an another way to litter your lair with G1s. So don't.

> Try to plan something
Plan something where you could save money up to. This could be for lair expansions, genes for your G1s, etc. Anything what would encourage you to save.

> Baby-proof yourself
...aka put a majority of your treasure/gems in the Vault. Why? It's because at some point you'll forget that you put so much money there that the second time you look there you'll be surprised!

> Reminder that NoTN is near
- and also the fact that breed scrolls exist. Nocturne eggs are a thing, m8.

put your money somewhere you don't visit often, like your vault. don't collect ah profits as soon as they roll in. and don't look at the ah or item/dragon sales forums at all unless you're selling something.

i tend not to like dragons that i buy and end up exalting them, so i try not to buy dragons at all anymore. why waste money on that expensive, pretty dragon when i know it's just an infatuation that'll fade after three weeks, you know? took some training and self discipline but i'm pretty good at it now.

Oof, I don't. (/n\)
I try to put most of my money away in my vault.
Can't spend it if it's not out!
I mean I still dip in but it's a slight deterrent.
