I have bought some expensive things, but they were out of necessity 🤔

I like to think about it in ‘what is the most extra thing I’ve bought’ because that could mean paying $35 for a poké bowl that clearly isn’t worth more than $12, just to get it delivered to my door in the next 10 minutes because I’m starving and lazy, rather than walking 20 minutes and picking it up. I’d hate myself more for those types of purchases than a new expensive car I needed 😂

I fully support the luxury vacation though, we all need those sometimes! Where are you going/staying?

Haha same! House goals next as well so all I can say is invest invest! No better time. Investment returns has allowed me to not sweat the small purchases!

$800 for shoes is crazy haha but I get your point! Thanks :) will have a look!

I need the details of this trip!! What yacht charter did you use, how did you find it, are you going by yourself? I would loveee to do this

Other than house, new kitchen remodel. Process took 4 months. Finished in December. Cost 25% of original purchase price of house.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t even thinking of that. That’s about what the price of our kitchen remodel came in at (I see people here talking about spending $30k in total and can’t quite figure out how that works - our cabinets alone cost way more than that.). Looks nice now thought.

Besides a house and car?

I had a pair of skis custom made for me about nine years ago. They cost $2700 (bindings included.) They've worked incredibly well and I'm very happy with the money i spent.

My marriage...

Other than house, car, kids, health insurance, I would say a wedding was at the top of the list and it wasn’t even extravagant, just a normal wedding with a lot of guests.
