to ask you what things people spend money on that you just don't understand?

[FeelinTwentySixPointTwo]

This isn't a judgey thread or a bashing thread. People are absolutely free to spend their money on whatever they choose. Horses for courses.

But that said.. what expensive things do you see other people spending their money on that you simply don't "get"?

Mine is personalised numberplates. Cannot compute why anyone would care what combo of numbers or letters is on their car.

Interested to see what others think!

Buying designer clothes for children especially babies. My children only have to look at a speck of dirt and they’re filthy, never mind the blowouts.

Expensive cars, nails, any kind of facial work, expensive weddings,

Lips/nails/lashes. It's just not me.

Takeaways. I've never bothered with them really. I can't get them delivered, and by the time I've gone to collect one (and choked at the price) I could have cooked something.

That said, I spend quite a bit on animal care.

new cars, “matching sets” for workouts and lounge wear and things, designer baby clothes, trending food and drink like a new coffee bean or the “Dubai chocolate,” cocaine, getting nails done, some interior design things

Disneyland Florida or any Disney

Fancy coffees (I prefer instant)
Botox/fillers etc
Cars (Im the type that only knows the colour and if its small, medium or large)
Dubai (its soooo far - shit - and there is sun literally a couple of hours away in spain etc).
designer labels
fancy furniture

Oh, I love a bag of crushed ice in my freezer. Can’t believe the years of trying to balance the ice cube tray without spilling any , what a palaver, to just get a dozen cubes.

I used to feel guilty about my unglam nails but nowadays I think all the shellac etc looks really tacky - much prefer home done clean and tidy nails with some clear gloss

I don’t understand why people spend money on:

• fancy cars
• Music concerts
• Festivals
• Meeting actors at comic con type events
• Botox and filler
• Pets

But then I spend a lot of money on Monster High, My Little Pony and Disney dolls, so I’m hardly in a position to talk.

Laser hair removal. I know 2 ladies who did it spent nearly 10k then after having children the hair grew right back! They enjoyed being hair free for less then 4 years 😂😭 not worth it at all. Hormonal changes undo everything. Pregnancy and even Menopause.

Childrens birthday parties.

Hen/Stag do's

Weddings.

Shocked by so many saying takeaways. God Id get them every night if I could! They are brilliant.

Haircuts - no point. So easy to do it yourself.

Nails - just annoying and expensive.

Or learn to do the plumbing 😊. I did along with plastering including lime plastering, tanking, tiling, carpet and all floor laying etc The only thing I wouldn’t risk is electrics. I also don’t like to use or have workmen in the house. So needs must

I spent £1000 on hair removal from one small area and after 10 sessions, it hadn’t made any difference. And I have dark hair.

Shocked by so many saying takeaways. God Id get them every night if I could! They are brilliant.

Wouldn't necessarily have a take away every night but I'd be in line for a personal chef to do the planning/cooking for me.

Takeaways used to be affordable. I could get a tandoori mixed grill and bag of chicken pakoras for a tenner from the local Indian. Now it's easily double that. More with sides.

Tattoos.

Everyone has different taste!

Jealous much??

Yes spent good bit on laser hair wasnt great needs top ups so should have spent that money elsewhere..

This post is pathetic and been started for people to argue with each other … ridiculous

Im going to add home coffee machines to my list. I love coffee and am yet to have a nice coffee from a fancy home coffee machine that people have spent a hundreds on!

Hot tubs. My friend spent 8k on hers. I mean, what?

Number plates are not necessarily a display of wealth!
they can also be used to disguise the age of the car, so you don’t look like you’re driving a round in a well maintained banger, but something a bit newer.
number plates start at £200 and if you don’t change your car there aren’t any other costs involved.
not every personalised plate has cost hundreds and thousands!!

But yes I agree, horses are a complete waste of money!!
