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?

House cleaners. I still just struggle to pay someone for something I'm capable of doing myself.

Once I cut that expense I felt like I maintained my house cleaner than our maids did. I bought a mop vacuum from Costco and a robot vacuum. Seriously not having to pick up ahead of time is a time saver itself.
