The biggest purchase I ever made while manic was a house for $110,000. It was a real fixer upper. We had to sell it about 6 months later. Of course at the same time I was trying to start a business and planning to leave my first husband I did for a while on an impulse but we got back togrthrt. It was years later when we divorced for real. I have this affinity for houses and thinking that I can restore them or redecorate them all by my self when I am manic. I know I am starting to get there when I start thinking about moving the furniture and remodeling the kitchen. Someday I'll have my dream kitchen, but until then, I'll use my old 1950s kitchen without enough counter space and the appliances in funny places.
