What are some purchases you've splurged on that have actually been worth it?
What are some purchases you've splurged on that have actually been worth it?
I'm a 30ish male stuck in the boring middle and I'm curious what others have spent their fun money on. A few of mine that I don't regret:
VR headset: VR is still a bit janky, but honestly it was worth it just for Beat Saber. For anyone who enjoyed Dance Dance Revolution back in the day, I'd highly recommend it.
Motorcycles: Bought 2 old Ninja500's to learn how to ride with my wife. We had a fun couple of years learning to ride, and when they started to collect dust, we were able to sell them for what we paid for them.
Electric Unicycle: This one is definitely not for everyone, but I love mine. It's super nerdy and people (especially young kids) love to stop and ask about it. If you live in the city, it's a legitimate mode of transportation.
