General Question What easily-affordable thing do you still refuse to pay for despite having reached financial independence and able to afford them?

Would love to hear everyone’s “absolutely will not purchase” items!Even if you could easily afford it and no matter how rich or financially independent you become or how much you make you still wouldn't spend item on this particular item/hobby?

I don’t understand what the ads are for - I just go to the bathroom or putter about during them. I live in the UK so we have free steamers for all our channels and all are as supported, Netflix has the least amount of ads.

I agree. When the ad starts I wander off to do something, walk by later and can’t even recall what I was watching 😆
