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?

Why is it only on adult children to visit parents? Why can’t able parents visit their children?

Do you never visit your children?

My Starbucks hot chocolate habit (3-5 times a week)
Holidays, most recently Mauritius and soon Maldives, with business class flights
Dyson hairdryer
Mac laptop (despite having never had an iPhone, I will only use Mac)

I agree . Same as a Kindle , great for travel but not the same as a new paperback at home . Mind you I’ve just ordered a new coloursoft kindle so that might make the reading experience more natural .

I have very soft nails so a gel polish every four weeks is my regular extravagance.

I’m currently looking at this food mixer.

The crumpets 😱

I would definitely learn to make them.

Having my feet looked after every 5 weeks or so and my hair highlighted three or four times a year and cut every 5 weeks.

Both are worth every penny.

Ribeye steaks. Lots and lots of them a month

This is a lovely way to honour your DD and spend time with your memories of her.

Treats high end, top-quality leads, new coats, fresh meat, the finest biscuits, monthly subscriptions to my personal physician, insurance to cover my health costs, spa treatments, brand-new beds and blankets, and plenty of new toys. Every holiday is centred around me as well.
There must be plenty of other things too, but I do feel slightly embarrassed about how extravagant my lifestyle sounds when I list it all out.
Love,

Buy it from QVC . They often have PK as a Today’s Special Value and you’d get shampoo and conditioner for about £50 .

Good.

I always like seeing extravagances that are a small salve for someone's childhood.

Be careful , I was the same and he was eating meat aswell but got pancreatitis, the vet said tinned and fresh tuna and salmon is too fatty for dogs .

Our Campervan love it and go away at least twice a month, just for the weekend but now won’t be without it.

I think this is more carbon emitting extravagance than anything!

We’re looking for a really good climbing frame, which brand is yours?

Organic food, better for us, tastes better, and better for the environment.

Which brand of shoe please? I’m in agony most days!

I read these posts with interest and live them all, it also struck me how many things now considered luxury were pretty standard when I was growing up, I am not from UK and remember milkman bringing fresh raw milk in a can hung on n his bicycle , meat always bought from local butchers , butter from the local dairy , there are specialist shops that sell coffee freshly ground and you can add chicory to your taste and make it bespoke, oil always bought from oil mill no petroleum refined there, magazines were delivered to house on a subscription basis, etc makes me thankful for the wonderful times and tad sad for younger people who never got to experience these , I am only in my forties !

I just want to acknowledge your beautiful daughter and to say my thoughts are with everyone who loves her. ❤️

My lashes.

My own are beyond rubbish so I spend about £70 a month having angel lashes. They make me look normal (I don’t go for the pantomime cow look) as my own are very short, blonde, stubby and thin partly due to my RA meds.

I’d give up a lot of things before I gave up my lashes. Even though I moved half an hour away I still go back to my lash lady twice a month as she’s amazing, and so hilarious it’s like therapy seeing her. Worth every penny.

I totally agree with this. Ortiz is the only tuna I'll buy now. I'd rather have less of it, but excellent quality.

Make up, I genuinely believe you get what you pay for.

Travelling. My daughter lives abroad so i spend a lot of money going to visit her.

I love all these! But gym, PT, fitness classes, good quality food I don't at all see as extravagant. They're an investment in health which is priceless.

They are an investment but when it uses a chunk of disposable income then it does fall into extravagance too for many. I will cut back elsewhere before I considering cutting back on the gym stuff but it does cost me a lot compared to income.

Hi Rory! You sound awesome!
