WHAT’S THE FIRST LUXURY ITEM YOU BOUGHT WHEN YOU HAD MONEY?

(January, 2023) Reddit asked, “What is the first luxury Item that you bought for yourself with your own money?” Here are some of the answers:
– “For my wife and I, it was a Tempur-pedic mattress.”
– “A gaming monitor.”
– “A Dell G7 gaming laptop.”
– “A massage.” (* What kind? A massage, or a … “massage”?)
– “Goretex multicam camouflage pants. (* That’s it – dream big!)
– “A pair of $600 Prada shoes.”
– “I bought a nice pair of lizard skin boots.”
– “A pair of steel cap Doc Martens.”
– “A nice quality couch from an upper end furniture store. It didn’t match anything else, but boy it was comfortable and lasted a long time.”
– “When I was 20 I got so sick of my broken piece of crap car, I went to the dealership and bought a brand new car. When I told my dad he just said, “If you got a loan for it, it’s the bank’s car, not yours.” (* Gee, thanks, dad, for always being in my corner!)
– “A watch from Festina, 500 euros about 20 years ago. It lasted about a year before it failed for the first time, then another year, and after it failed for the third time in three years they told me it was out of warranty.”
* Shoes are as good a place to start as any when you finally have money.
* I remember switching from ramen to Campbell’s Soup. That was a big deal.
* We might be getting bonuses, in which case I’m splurging on a dozen eggs.
