[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll go first. I could afford a numbered iPhone. Even the latest model! But I’ve always had SE models because I don’t see the value in the numbered models. I’m not a huge photo nerd so the camera piece is irrelevant.

What items do you not buy, but could afford to?[/quote]

Luxury cars. Anything beyond a nicely equipped Toyota/Honda is a complete waste as far as we’re concerned.[/quote]

Toyotas and Hondas aren't cheap anymore though. [/quote]

everything is relative. [/quote]

Yup!  The luxury cars are equally more as well.  But they are nice and if you enjoy what they offer and can afford it treat yourself.  But if you don't care then yes buy a Toyota/honda and it will serve you well.  [/quote]

I think it's really about what you enjoy. Personally I enjoy nice design, seats and a luxury feel. But I won't pay a lot for it, not more than I'd pay for a Honda. Since I don't mind buying a car that's 3 or so years old, I can find what I want within my range.[/quote]

Yes, we all spend on what we enjoy (and what we can afford).  Until we had enough money, we didn't buy luxury.  But my spouse is a car person, so we have nice cars.  Then again, we were 30 when we paid cash for our first luxury car (and haven't taken a car loan since then), so we can afford them.  
And saving for the cars was not at the expense of other things---our mortgage was paid off by 40.
