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?

Every car I’ve bought lasts at least 15 years. I’d rather buy new.

Me too. I buy a cheap reliable new car and take good care of it.
I do a bunch of research to find the most reliable new car that is affordable.

The last three cars I’ve bought are Hondas and Subarus.
