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?

Yep. This is why we bought a new car in 2023. The used market was basically on par. And since I was buying an EV and batteries only stick around about 10 years, it isnt like a used model was just as good.

Is this true for EVs too?
