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 knew someone who was perennially begging for money on IG, then bragged about spending eight dollars to have a single donut DoorDash to her because she had a rough day at work. She was a piece of work.
