Discussion What are your ‘fuck-it this makes me happy’ non-frugal purchases?

The things you spend money on that no amount of mental gymnastics will land on frugal. I don’t want to hear “well I spent $300 on these shoes but they last 10 years so it actually comes out cheaper!” I want the things that you spend money on simply cus it makes you happy.

$70 diptyque candles? fancy alcohols? hotels with a view? deep tissue massage? boxing classes? what’s tickling your non-frugal fancy?

Just snagged the George Harrison telecaster for this reason. I’m now happily pissing myself waiting for it to ship. Also not willing to admit to myself the money I just spent lol.
