What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive?

I’m looking for cautionary tales to curb upgraditis.

After living with the same speakers and integrated for 20 years, I’ve now replaced everything in the last year. I even have a list of next steps that may or may not be necessary. Like I probably should finish mounting all my acoustic panels before getting a subwoofer. And do I really need a better pre if I only use one source and might eventually upgrade to a DAC with volume control? Did I mention I’m waiting for new speakers to ship? But SET amps sure are interesting and now I want one of those, too.

So when did you make a purchase and then immediately regret it because you decided to go a different direction?

Ehh, the way I see it, if one can afford it and make it work within one's budget, then it's no big deal; it'll probably bring some new joy into one's life. 

On the other hand, if it causes you to eat ramen noodles for half a year, or it prevents you from making badly needed repairs to one's car used mainly for work, then yeah, it was a mistake!  Hah!
