What are your extravagant spends that you have zero guilt about

[LittlePrecious]

My mum lives about 130 miles away from me. I visit her three times a year. I always get an Uber there and a first-class train back.

My friend nearly fell off her seat laughing at my extravagance when I told her about this earlier today😅😅😅

My DH has a bit of a tinned fish habit and can easily spend £70 a month on it.

What ridiculous, extravagant things do you spend money on with zero guilt?

Cardigans. I'm abit of a knitwear junkie and can't resist a cute cardie.

.A Gails muffin and earl grey tea twice a week

.Glass bottled water from waitrose

.Blow dry once a week, it costs £30 and it's the only time ai wash my hair, I feel so good afterwards. Im so terrible at doing my own hair.

.My gym membership which is at a nice hotel and costs £99

I spent many years being poor so feel so grateful to do these things. ⁸

Go to the membership part of audible and click cancel your membership. They often do things like, "Are you sure you want to leave?" If not we'll give you free months for 99p a month and that also works with things like Disney Plus.

My craft cupboard. It cost A LOT but oh god I love it!!

All my spending 😂

Spa membership and holidays, I’m worth it.

I’ve never heard a ragdoll described as clever before 🤣. Yours must must gifted in ragdoll terms, ours is as thick as mince, he’d just sit in the road if he ever got out.

Mounjaro

Adults only hotels, love the peace. A solid tiled roof on our conservatory, it's transformed it, and window shutters too, we love them.

Running shoes…my carbon plated racing ones are >£200 and generally I probably spend £125-£150 on pairs. Excluding racing ones I have a rotation of at least 4 on the go at any one time.

Business class flights and luxury hotels, personal trainer and good teabags.

Surgeries.

Cosmetic, as opposed to financially supporting my local GP 😆

Just had my first “proper” as opposed to Botox etc (upper eyelid lift) and I’m a convert. 60th present to myself and it won’t be the last!

I love this post too ...

My mum used to put cassette tapes on for us at bedtime and leave the player in the hall between our rooms and we would listen with the lights out.

Sounds like you are retired and have all the time in the world!

Which mattress and is it good? DH and I can't find one we like ...

Jo malone perfumes
Food, like the odd delivery from cook or stocked
Eating out every week
Gym membership

good car, good holidays/days out for DD. I work full time with commute and buy my lunch most days - love the convenience and it’s normally healthy enough. it’s the first thing i cut when saving though

Recently:
-Business class flights to NZ - such a fabulous experience
-XL Morris & Co rug
-Bean to cup coffee machine
-Robot vacuum
Generally, maybe premium make up
I haven’t always splashed out but now in my 60s, recently retired and treating myself. I inherited a modest sum of money last year when my Mum died.

p.s. premium economy seats always

High quality food including fancy tinned fish !

Yes it’s fantastic! Brilliant customer service too

i got the hybrid but you can ask for advice and they get some details then recommend (he didn’t recommend the most expensive either)

About a grand on a latex mattress. Worth every single penny as I have arthritis in my spine and hips.

Meat from the butchers, sometimes equivalent to supermarket prices sometimes more expensive, but always far far better quality.

Or mine, she won't let me in the house as I dared to criticise her beloved dog who is terribly behaved, jumps up and scratches - rather than train it her solution was for me not to enter her house.

Business class flights if flying long haul... not sure I could do it otherwise at my age!

Gym membership, PT and training plan.

@museumum I was 50 2 weeks ago, and that is what id like, someone to keep me right nd shower me what to do. But I just can't justify the cost! Keep it it up 💪
