This whole thread is super wholesome. Thanks for this, OP.
Finally felt financially stable enough to start a family.
Spent $150k on something I didn’t need (student loans)
Are you me?? 😹
I quit cooking. My favorite is putting in a breakfast order before I go to bed, so that my morning wake up call is my door being buzzed by a guy with waffles. I call it my room service 😁
I realized I didn't list mine. I went to Miami for New Year's Eve and rented a yacht and basically blew off the steam I've needed to for the last two years

Have a wedding
That's coming up next for me hahaha. Going to be a blast.
I bought $1k Tom Ford prescription glasses that fall off when I look down
Went to shop at Bergdorfs and didn’t look at a price tags ONCE 😬😬

I’ve blown some serious money over the years, but I recently hired a car service to drive me from my parents’ house to my boyfriends parents’ house over the holidays. Flying wasn’t really an option due to how rural our parents live and I didn’t have a car since I had flown home. It was $900 and I felt like a god damn queen.
Which service? Looking for a recommendation!
Bought a ring - proposing this weekend!
Best wishes!

I bought a 50k Honda pilot. My dad was disappointed. Me too NGL. But I want a big family.
With rates so low, it's silly not to finance in my opinion, assuming you have the capital to buy it outright of course. Put that capital to work instead of towards a depreciating asset!

I put a deposit down on a $50k new car and i still have (frozen) student loans. The heart wants what it wants.
I wholeheartedly disagree with the concept that we can’t live life and buy new things (like a house or a car) while we still have student loan debt. It’s draconian. Good for you A5!

I live in Manhattan 😩
Purchase solitaires and a Birkin
Between 35-40k though I have friends who were offered for spending less and others who were not offered even when they spent more.

Bought a sports car. Now I can stare longingly at it for the 8 months of the year I can't drive it.
Which one did you get? I am thinking of getting one (in sunny Cali though).
I bought a boat. And then an appropriately luxurious car to tow the boat.
A8 that's so cool! I keep looking at campers but my Hilton Points balance and love of flying places has prevented it.
My friend in the next office is in the process of building an overlanding vehicle. I'm watching with morbid curiosity, because I'm pretty sure he's never been camping in his life and his fiancée's idea of roughing it is carrying her own bags to the room.

Custom desk. And $1000 in home network gear. Yes....patent attorney....why do you ask
Currently in process - putting a jacuzzi in my backyard, complete with stone enclosure, with built-in fire pit table and drink fridge.
Otherwise: paying off my $200k in student loans 😭.
Hell yeah
Purchased a ~luxury~ watch
I bought new furniture
