Impulsive? 
 You didn't think twice before buying?

Mmm it was a piano 
Not that expensive, it was 10K, but never used it much. It lies, gathering dust.

I purchased a Calvin Klein set for a vacation in Bali. It was ~15k for the set and I must say that I enjoyed being in them. So did someone special. 🤭

Going first, for me it is my Apple Watch Ultra (with Blue Ocean Band). I paid Rs. 1.05 Lacs for it but still the best investment I have ever made

Did you guys ever spend a lot of money on something or did something very extravagant which does not make any financial sense but you do not regret it?

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games.

It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

How do you justify expensive purchases to yourself?

For some ps5 is not about price, it's about their dream to buy since college days (many ppl I know bought it) and same goes for other stuff as well.

As engineers, I now realise a good chair and a table is a must to protect our long term health. I mostly work from home and sit in front of my computer 10+ hours per day with breaks in between. These days I am getting backache as my current chair is falling apart. I wanted to know your opinions on buying an expensive chair and are they actually worth it. I shortlisted a few below:

1. Herman Miller - Aeron (~Rs.1.2L)
2. Steelcase - Leap or Gesture (~Rs.1L+)
3. Haworth - Fern (Rs.~70k)

I wanted to know if anyone has bought these chairs (or have any other suggestions), have any long term experience with it, and are they actually worth the cost. TIA!

Which chair do you use?

What’s your biggest regret in life?

Whats something that you bought under 10k that you dont regret?

Hi, recently we had a baby girl 👶 and are ovet the moon and enjoying our early parenthood. 

I have noticed that we have been *a lot* of money on things (toys, dresses, accessories etc..) ~1lakh till now.. 20k for clothes, other accessories ~70k (crib, car seat, stroller, dining chair, baby carrier, breast pumps etc etc..) during these initial days.. 

All products in baby category are super __expensive__ (talk about muslin clothes) and kids quickly outgrow them, making them irrelevant (our daughter is just 20days old and whatever the rompers we got for newborn is already to tight for her). 

How do you convince your wife that something is too expensive and not worth to buy? Whenever I have given hints on this, she mentions that you spend money on this and that and we shouldn't "kanjoos" when it comes to baby👶.. My wife is not ready to buy second hand items or use items from relatives (at least things like accessories not clothes). 

I can easily afford all this (>1cr CTC), but when do I start things about spending excessively?
