It's hard to put a classification on something which is essentially a spectrum. I just think of it as.. how bad was I? How expensive the damage? How expensive the impulse buying? One thing that I always think of when it comes to a lot of classic manic behavior.. stuff like flying off to Thailand on a whim, buying a boat driving home from work, etc... you have to be financially CAPABLE of doing these things no matter what the impulse. I suppose if you go rob a bank to do these things.... Manic.
