What’s the dumbest thing you’re willing to pay too much for

I've been on a cologne kick lately. I've bought several bottles of upper end stuff. Not sure why since I dont wear it that often but it makes me happy I guess.

Spending it on food, but I know I need to keep saving up my money.

Or 19-ish dollars for a taxi because I missed the bus.

iPhones lol

I have buying coffee everyday before work and normal I make coffee at home

Skincare and makeup. Its compulsive at this point.

I'm a sucker for all those expensive green juices. I'll go to whole foods and cough up like $7 for mid sized bottle of kale spinache cucumber ect. Juice. Idk why... Should probably just buy a juicer.

I can't really think of much. Maybe certain foods, household items, etc.

Back when I rode horses, definitely tack (which is the equipment used for riding such as saddles, bridles, etc.). Though to be fair, I always found really good deals on older used and old stock stuff and never jumped onto the bandwagon of trendy brands that lacked in quality for the price point and was all about the name (not that I could afford an $8,000 saddle or a $600 bridle in the first place). I definitely made sure that I was actually getting what I paid for, and did. I've actually kept every single bit of it in case I ever get back into riding, simply because much of what I own is now out of production (or the manufacturer has changed) and tack of similar quality (and condition, considering I have 30+-year-old bridles that have never even been used yet and are in mint condition) is very hard to find new and gets snatched up very fast on the used market. Not to mention the quality of the vast majority of leather goods has gone tremendously and steadily downhill in the past several years, so any hopes of finding anything comparable in the future are slim. I also find caring for the leather to be therapeutic, so it still serves a purpose for me in a way. However, I did spend a lot of money that may have been better spent towards other things on tack I didn't really need, but just had to have.

I also used to play the violin many moons ago and had a really wonderful bow I loved that had been discontinued for years, that unfortunately broke one day. I set a saved search on eBay for it and forgot about it, until several years after I had quit playing, one popped up on eBay for a very reasonable price (though keep in mind decent quality violin stuff is not cheap). Of course, I just had to have it "just in case" I ever picked the violin back up again. I've played it maybe 15-20 times since then. So, spending ~$250 on a bow for a violin I haven't been seriously interested in playing in nearly a decade was likely a very stupid decision. The worst part is that once I acquire something, I have a tendency to hoard it forever, so hopefully at some point I either use this stuff again or find it new homes.

A 'rusty trombone' or ďoing the 'angry pirate' to someone .

I’d say for me it’s Tshirts maybe. I think I probably paid at most like 50 or 60 bucks for a Tshirt!! Last time I did that, I said No Way never paying that much for clothes again!!

I recently payed €25 for a voice recording lightsaber.

I paid $100 to replace my camera lens hood that I left on a job... its literally a piece of cylindrical plastic.

Dumb home improvement projects.

Anyone need a gas meter?

Good food and cosmetics.

Band merchandise when I can afford to (at least for smallish bands since they probably need the cash), stuff for my pets and makeup products unless it's a trusted brand that is cheaper but still good quality.

Face wash, toner, serum, eye cream, face cream, and sunblock. It's gotten to a point where it's a little over 100 bucks for all of them. Without it, my skin is dry as hell.

I've just done something that makes no financial sense whatsoever.

One of our cars is from 2002, and the top-coat (the layer of clear lacquer that's on top of the colour coat) on the bonnet (USA = hood) and roof was looking really manky due to UV damage. There was no rust or any other structural damage, but those parts of the car looked a lot like human skin does after a sunburn when skin comes off in flakes.

I decided to get it fixed, and was told that the only way to do it properly was to have everything taken down to bare metal and both the colour-coat and top-coat replaced. The cost of that was only a little less than what cars of that make, model and age sell for on the used market.

The car runs well because I've always been careful to maintain it correctly and we plan to keep it indefinitely, but it is completely illogical to spend that much on something that's purely cosmetic.

I recently bought an eye cream applicator for myself, and one for sister!

TVs

Alcohol. Good wines, imported beer from around the world (I like trying different beers), older whiskey, smoother and more refined gin...

$20-115 USD for a single very good condition, rare, and/or foreign vintage My Little Pony figure.

The state I live in we have person property tax. So cars, rvs, motorcycles, all have a yearly tax. Fuck that shit.

Books. If it's of an interesting subject and hard to get I won't even bat an eye about spending a couple hundred for a book. My most expensive book at this time costs $111 however i own alot of books that cost 40+

Drinks and food when at a venue like a concert, club, or game.

7 or 8 dollars for bubble tea, as a treat.
