AIBU to spend 1/3 of my pay check on an armchair?

[millerjane]

I know it's a ridiculous amount for 1 piece of furniture but I am tempted.

I'm in the fortunate position that my first (grad) job is within commuting distance from my family home (therefore I do not have to pay rent). Living at home is great but my parents LOVE parenting iykwim - despite being pretty independent and competent they will still treat me like a child.

My bedroom has become my sanctuary. Luckily for me it's a good size and somewhere I can escape to for a bit of privacy/alone time. I've splutged a bit on doing it up,

I've been looking for a snuggly armchair to watch tv/read on but haven't really been able to find what I'm looking for. Literally the only armchairs I like are in excess of £1k.

AIBU to spend so much of my paycheck on a chair. I think it would make me immensely proud to know I've been able to buy something special for myself/through my own hardwork.

It would mean having fewer savings for a month and not putting anything into my holiday pot so no crazy ramiifcations.

I've included a pic of the style I want but would opt for a different colour and fabric. I should mention I would have to lie to my parents about how much it costs.

Plenty of people blow that amount on coke in a week. Do it, you have the chance, and enjoy, life is short, it's for living.

Me and DH spent £2400 on a leather suite 23 years ago. It was reduced in the sale. I looked at it with my mum and fell in love and the brought DH to see it. He said that was too much to spend on a suite but was totally sold when he saw it. It is still going strong? When I say suite I mean two armchairs and one settee which actually seats 4 people comfortably

I think it's a great idea. Something to show and enjoy from you wages.
Its nobodies business whether you pay rent or not. I never accepted rent off my sons, they did offer, but we didn't need it , rather they put it to some use.
