What is a luxury item you would never buy, regardless of your ability to afford it?

[AlfieLeFondre]

i would say a sports car , just want one that works.

A mansion - all those wasted unloved rooms.
Foie gras. Cruel.
Veal - again cruel.
Wear emeralds- supposedly unlucky and I don't want to chance it. Of two people I know who had emerald engagement rings both had traumatic life experiences. I know some posters will come down on me like a ton of bricks but that has been my experience.
Drive a green car - my superstitious parents passed that on to me.

oh yes definitely not a personalised number plate. I see those and think: what's the problem - you can't remember your own 3-letter name?

DM asked me recently if I wanted laser surgery for my decade birthday later this year. I said no. Don’t want lasers in my eyes and I’d still need reading glasses, which I would lose constantly if they were it always on the end of my nose.

I had eye laser surgery- done in a hospital by a top eye surgeon. He did both eyes slightly differently so I won't need glasses for reading.

Agree with skipping the fancy car. No helicopters either. Thats about it though. God I'd enjoy that money!!

A soft top spots car, fucking horrendous

That TV show, a while ago, where the guy was building the world’s biggest mansion, and they ran out of money as the recession hit. It was an eye-opener...
A big house is just a series of rooms, full of expensive crap. None of them were happy. I prefer my small but perfectly formed home. With my few ordinary things.

Another one for personalised number plates. Why on earth would you.

Nothing could ever get me to buy the environmental disaster that is the Nespresso.

I was reading through thinking anytime now and yes bang! There they are....

I love my private plate on my Red Shiny Audi. I'm not going to justify it I love it and worked hard to buy both and it makes me smile.

Each to their own p

Apple stuff
Huge house ( I don't need it as I am planning for an only child,my dream is a 3 bed flat in Kensington)
TV licence
TV
Facials/manicures,/spa

Expensive perfume. Waste of money!
Posh clothes as they would still look rank on me.
A rice cooker or ice cream maker.

Anything gold, or a boat.

Sports cars. Handbags costing thousands of pounds. If I had a million, I wouldn't spend thousands on a bag.

A fancy car
Designer clothing
Expensive watch or jewellery
Designer shoes
Perfume
Designer handbags

Designer stuff like clothes, handbags, shoes etc just for the sake of it. I'd buy good quality stuff I liked, but not focused on label.

Super sporty car
Designer handbags
Designer clothes
A boat!
Expensive watch

Cleaning wipes

Boats are a waste of money! I knew some people who co owned a small one , but the novelty wore off after a year.
Ditto caravans! 'Big toys ' cost loads to upkeep as well.
A huge house as it would be a pain to keep clean and tidy.

I adore rose gold obsessed with the colour but pandora is as high as I go price wise What is the point of a bag over 150, I had a gorgeous bag from years ago, cost £100 loved it but it got left behind in divorce, .

Caviar 🤮

A subscription to the Tory Party

A boat. I can’t swim, I get seasick very easily and they are notorious money pits.

‘Designer’ branded leisurewear. I once saw a plain T-shirt with a large Gucci logo on the front in Selfridges. It was very tacky indeed and the price was £300. I remember thinking that no matter how rich I was I would never, ever spend anything like that amount on a t-shirt.

Another one for sports car here.

I think lots of things hit a point where increasing price doesn’t change the quality a lot. Like I can taste the difference between a £5 and a £15 bottle of wine most of the time but I reckon £100 and £200 bottle aren’t any different quality wise

Anything to do with guns or exotic pets. Everything else is fair game, if I've got the money I'll buy what I want no holds barred
