Expensive purchases you’ve made with no buyers remorse

Not including real estate , have you bought anything for thousands of dollars that you didn’t regret buying ?
The reason I’m curious is I’ve made a lot of stupid decisions in my life , like classic vehicles I could have lived without etc , but I’d say my home theatre is up there with purchases that were expensive, but yet I’ve never regretted buying it .

Home theatre put me back over 25K , but it’s used a lot , and I like quality sound and video .


Home gym . Well the rubber flooring put me back thousands all by itself , and I try not to add up what I’ve got into , 10’s of thousands would not be exaggerating.
As much as I love it , I’m not 100% sure I’d do it again if given the chance .







Arnold . Believe it or not I’ve spent over 4K so far , and there’s still parts needed ,as I am going to animate him a bit once he’s screen correct .(broken endo arm etc ).
I have to say somedays it’s been worth it lol’s wise , as people always see in their peripheral and find it weird that someone else is standing in the room , but I was watching a scary movie last year and for the first time in years he really freaked me out for reason .
Would I do it again, probably not

Bought a 2017 4Runner new with no regrets.

My Prime Prodigy Selectorized Rack in my home gym was expensive AF but it's been a fantastic addition.

Just a bunch of clothes when I dated this chick who liked me to dress well. I reverted back to wearing black tee shirts after we broke up and dropped like 6 boxes of clothes off at the thrift store

Also a watch that was 1500 but I rarely wear. Christopher ward moon cycle, is the most expensive watch I own but I prefer my Hamilton beach silver dial

800 bucks on a Tama Imperialstar drum set, extra cymbals, hundreds on electric and acoustic guitars, amps, keyboards, etc. Then you have microphones, interface, speakers, headphones (I'm not an audiophile but I like expensive headphones), macbook/laptop, etc. Honestly all worth it to me. Music/playing musical instruments is such a great, fulfilling, fun hobby. You can create, record, produce music, jam with friends, make youtube videos, whatever. Quality gear doesn't break down if you treat it right, lasts a lifetime.

My 2nd most expensive hobby is either mountain bikes or skateboarding/longboarding, you can go through a lot of boards and bearings and wheels and other gear pretty fast if you skate every day. And bikes are just expensive in general, especially e-bikes.

I suppose renovations which made my house increase in value much more than the cost of the renos

In terms of material I’m frugal but bought an omega seamaster for 2600 CAD it’s up 30-40% in price but don’t plan on selling it

2nd the Invisalign for sure, I wish I did it sooner. If anyone is on the fence don't hesitate, it was so easy. $5500CAD/$4300USD btw.

Also, no ragrets purchasing a 2220.80 Seamaster. I must have seen this watch in Casino Royale close to 50 times and was hunting for this or a 2531.80 for close to a year before I found a deal.

Srs answer is probably my $1300 electric piano. Took me a few years to get into it, but the guilt of the cost spurred me to practice more, and I really appreciate the quality of the keys and their action. Bunch of instruments are probably my most expensive purchases, and I definitely don't regret them, even the $1k guitar that I played for a year and a half and broke/lost. Just get so much use out of them.

This is a bit of a sore subject for me . I loved playing piano when I was kid . Didn’t know much but liked to tinker .
I made this setup in my living room ,and made an easel to hold an iPad so I could watch YouTube videos and memorize the notes.
I purchased a $3,500 Roland electronic piano , as I didn’t want to move a real piano in my living room.
Anyways I had a little bit of tinnitus in my right ear from damage that occurred at our local theatre of all things.
It wasn’t terrible, but the guys I work with are full aware of my issue, and use every opportunity to make it worse .
Unfortunately I let my guard down one time at work , and one guy intentionally let a huge steel underground vault door drop right by my head as I was picking up my tools .
It pretty much was the last nail in the coffin for my right ear , and I can’t even be near a piano , as the high pitched squeal in my ear gets so bad it’s impossible to sleep .
So no choice but to sell . It’s unfortunate,as I was having a blast too

There are definitely some good ones in the $500 price range. The better key action is probably only worth splurging for if you're super serious/going to be playing lots of classical stuff. Watch out for the ones with lots of sounds though - companies will often have two main lines of keyboards under $1k, one that has a lot of instrument sounds with worse key action, and one with fewer sounds but better action.

High quality bed sheets. Dropped $2k for it which at the time I thought was crazy but considering I spend 25-30% of my life in bed, it has been well worth it.

Lasik was $5900 late 2016. Probably best thing I’ve done.
Bought a new 77” OLED in Jan for $3400 or so. Very big video nerd so worth it.

Rogue gym equipment for home gym. Not as much as OP, but around $3500 worth.

Same. Thats an endless quest for the right sound based on what you are looking for but have never really regretted spending money on quality gear.

Not really buyers remorse for anything. Only mega purchases have been my car and house, both of which I am happy with considering what I paid.

I have a laptop, LED 50" 4K, cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine etc. but they were all cheap compared to the transactions being dropped in this thread.

Luxury watches (srs). Never thought I could imagine a $10k+ watch being "worth the money", but it really is. Most people that buy one end up buying several more for a reason.

I have 12k worth of hand carved crystal/mineral realistic skulls sitting on my desk. Emerald, Amethyst, Baltic Amber, Russian Charoite, etc. I loved geology in HS and I like skulls so decided to start collecting them. No fuks given
