I’ll add: a giant house, a prestigious high paying career, an overflowing closet of clothes.

Sushi, designer anything at all, a house (condos for life!), fancy restaurants.

A boat- so expensive. So many intoxicated boaters.

A vacation home - would rather go different places than return to same place over and over.

A pool- too much work, liability.

expensive skincare, designer purses

A vacation home is an investment especially if you rent out.

Add to this, Disney World.

I've been, both with kids and without, last time in 2022. It was awful, way too crowded now and ridiculously expensive. I will never go back. I don't get people who want to make that their vacation every year.

A single family house in a “desirable” suburban neighborhood. Or even semi-suburban like CCMD. Tried it. Hate it. Give me multi-family housing in a real city any day.

I honestly don't care for luxury anything in terms of "stuff" or material things. I'd rather have a nice experience or trip.

You're the first person I've heard express this--I thought I was the only one!

Nope. I don't have an engagement ring (I'm not the PP). First husband let his sister convince him I didn't mean it. Idiot. Second husband believed me. Married 25 yrs.

Most of mine have been taken, but I'll say additional responsibility at work or higher titles. I've reached a stage where I'm content with my work life balance and compensation and I just want to carry on with regular cost of living raises.
