Name an expensive product or service that’s worth it

Not all are super expensive, but luxuries I suppose:

Dyson stick vac

Botox

TSA Pre-check

Fancier condiments, I'm taking $18 chili crisp and $25 olive oil and $10 Japanese mayo

Moisturizers like Tatcha and Sunday Riley ($75 vs $15)

Apple computers and phones

Lululemon or Beyond yoga pants and tops

Started buying nicer furniture a few years ago and it's pretty nice to have

I will always pay to do something quicker if possible

Like every 20 mins?

I pay for Spotify premium (which now includes audio books). Less than $12 a month doesn’t feel like splurge to me.

Agree. Add to that toll roads, no-ad streaming and reserved seating

I check my phone or go to the bathroom when there’s a commercial break

Giant Alaskan malamutes, rescues. They came from an irresponsible backyard breeder and had health problems their entire lives but had the sweetest dispositions.

This is so strangely worded—it sounds like you think they can steal your backyard by looking at it.

Well, if that is the case, I salute you!

Big engines, nice interiors, etc. are so worth it when you spend a good chunk of your time in your car.

I always look down on the poor people; the people who can only afford a toyota or a honda. Really sad for them.

You sound like new money. Most wealthy people don't drive expensive cars because it's a depreciating asset. Also, Acura, Audi, Lexus and Infiniti's are just rebadged Honda, VW, Toyota, and Nissan.

Yes, to all those! All Clad non-stick is usually made in China and no better than Calphalon or any other cookware.

My hair is think with a kinky curl pattern. I’m awful at doing it myself and it takes forever when I try to and only lasts 2 days. I go in 1 or 2 times a week often right after a workout, come out 45min later with hair that looks great and will keep looking great for at least 5 days even with sweaty workouts. I get work done on my computer while they do their work. Saves me so much time makes me look pulled together versus frazzled

I've long said if I won the lottery I would love to hire a live-in hair stylist LOL. This sounds divine!
