One time bought a brand new $90,000 sports car when I was making really good money
After a few years the same car was worth $40,000 when I wanted to sell it (and like $35k trade in). Realized what a colossal waste of money it was and was not worth it

A stupid couch. It was really expensive, so we hoped that meant it would actually be durable and last a long time. It was worse than the cheap couch it replaced.

Night vision. I only spent $1500 on some gen 3 autogated pvs-7s, and they got old fast. Not really sure what they’re worth and don’t want to get scammed trying to sell them.
Regret. |

My first house. $205k.
Second on the list was out of state grad school. $187k Third was a fully build massage chair. $2500 So I guess I'm getting better - as along as the new $20k motor holds up. |

Bass boat paid $13K. I pulled in my circle driveway and the boat clipped a tree causing $3500 in damage. I had owned it about an hour. I sold it years later for $1500.

$25K on an O-320 aircraft engine for my aircraft build.
I should have spent a few more thousand and got an IO-360. |

A 2016 leased Cadillac ATS for $48K. It was doable and fun when I had an apartment, but substantially less so when I took on a mortgage. To top it all off, GM Financial shoved a big one up my bum with the fees after I returned it. Now that I've checked the "new car experience" off my bucket list, it's strictly 100% used for me from here on out.

Probably an uber fancy full length fur coat from Rosendorf Evans, for my wife, and she feels the same. She had recently received an especially robust bonus from Big Law, and we had just bought and tried this liquid L-Theanine supplement that that is supposed to be "relaxing". We strolled into that store and behaved very badly.
I don't think she's ever worn it.
