[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't spending money great sometimes? Here are some of my things:

- Groceries - I go to Costco like the rest of you but I also enjoy high quality produce and meat and organic stuff at Whole Foods that I know is probably overpriced but it feels nice to buy and eat. I honestly barely look at the prices unless it's ridiculous. $8 for milk from pasture raised cows? Works for me. 
- Workout clothes - I'll spend $50-$100 on nice Lululemon gear and the quality is awesome and looks great.
- Appliances/technology - I've paid a good amount for very highly rated blenders, food processors, TVs, headphones, etc. They work well and last a long time.
- Baby gear when my kids were little. I bought that $1000 Uppbaby stroller and subscribed to Lovevery kits. I can afford it so why the heck not?
- Subscriptions. I subscribe to Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Apple TV - all of them! I love my shows and they bring me a lot of happiness.

All of these are dumb except for organic foods and good appliances. Materialistic snowplow parent + screen addict is not a great combo.

Private school + travel are the only luxuries worth spending $$$$ on.[/quote]

I just looked up snowplow parent. Interesting that you can assume what kind of style parenting I have based on 2 things I bought. A lot of baby gear is for the parents to make their lives easier, not to spoil their kids, btw.

I actually don’t have that much time to watch TV (kids, housework, etc) but when a good show is on I will pay to watch it. Hopefully you have hobbies you enjoy too other than private school and travel. [/quote]
