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!

Typo but goodness knows what I meant to write 😂

But it is the most fabulous feeling to drive a brand new car off the forecourt of the dealer garage. Makes you feel a million dollars and the 'new car' smell is fab! I've done it a few times

I've done it. It felt fine but within 24 hours i felt like I'd enjoyed a lovely bonfire of fifties. It didn't feel any different to drive round in than the old car had. I really regretted it.

That would explain why I don’t know…I could never be accused of knowing anything about fashion.

Interesting one re cities

As commuting time and expense can seriously damage quality of life, and also the things available in cities like arts and culture and having people around can really help (it does stop me being lonely, as much as I'd love a big house wind a garden!)

I have two dogs and don’t grudge the money for them, they’re very entertaining and get me out walking when I wouldn’t normally, so good for my health. I have plenty family around to look after them if needed so don’t cause a hassle if we want to do something without them.

I agree with you about everything else.

Cheap ones are so bad for your lungs!🫁

My husband has a private number plate, part of which is the number of his army regiment. The regiment he served more than 30 years in. It’s more than dear to him. His service is a huge part of his life and he continues to help his fellow veterans now.
I hope this helps you understand why, OP.

NOOoo! I was/am toying with the idea of buying a Defender 110 to replace my constantly-in-the-garage RR Sport.

Judgy much???

Why bother with what you can’t afford… its not your money mind your own business

🤣🤣

I remember now. It was Butlins 😂

Expensive cars

I don’t think anyone can say what is a waste of money for other people. It isn’t, for us. And it’s our money.

That’s true of lots of soldiers, it doesn’t mean they put it on their number plate! Fair play if he likes it, but it’s still an odd thing to do to mr.

Cosmetic surgery. It is expensive but it makes people look cheap, cheap, cheap and ugly and vulgar.

Nails, hair extensions, eyebrows, fancy cars, designer clothes...

DH bought one, I dread to think how much he spent on it. Best day of my life when he sold it.
You know what they say, you can go anywhere in a Defender. Getting home, now that’s another matter.

Same here. I’m so pleased i don’t have the gambling gene

How can anyone hate takeaways?! What do you hate?

I love nothing more than finishing a long stressful day at the office with a delicious meal arriving on my doorstep without me lifting a finger.

Oh I LOVE my havaianas!
Trick is to buy them in winter…much cheaper!

I Agree. Education and the environment a child spends so many hours in is worth paying for. If you find the best Education it’s worth paying for

Those funko pop things

Really expensive destination holidays. Are they really any more enjoyable than a regular holiday to say Greece?

It’s Wierd isn’t it @WhereOnEarthIsMyPlanet that this is the one thing that so many have critised. The right to an Education of our choosing for our kids. How bizarre. I’d love to know why people aren’t mentioning illegal drugs and why people aren’t defending their right to have designer handbags but no! It’s all about taking away choice in Education.

Huge monthly car payments! I was so delighted to pay mine off then just keep the car!
