[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering spending about $3700 on a large sofa. I’m usually pretty cheap but it feels like a huge splurge. [/quote]
$3700 is too expensive for a sofa. This is a depreciating asset. Don’t waste your money on depreciating assets. You can buy a sofa that will last a long time for $1000. [/quote]

I disagree.  You can get a $1000 sofa that will last "a long time" but half of that time the cushions will no longer be comfortable, and it will no longer hold up as well.  Our cheaper furniture was functional, but not as comfortable by about 8 years.  We held out another couple of years and replaced it with a $3500 couch in 2008 and that couch, after 15 years including the last 12 with active kids and their friends, is still in great condition, the cushions feel like new (I still fall asleep regularly on that couch and it is comfortable) and it has held up well.  So, we spent twice the money and now, twice as long has passed and we still don't need to replace the couch.

You get what you pay for.  [/quote]
