Compulsive spenders.....we salute you!

My "minimalist" new year's resolution went out the window early :rolleyes:

It did get me down for a while. I mean, how is it that a bloke of my age can't go three days without buying some trinket or gadget. :lookaround:

Then I started to thinking. If it wasn't for people like us greasing the wheels of commerce the world would be in recession......we are really heroes :spotlight:

 

....let's not get carried away

Back to topic. 

We are halfway through 2017. What has been your best or worst (or both) non cigar purchase to date. 

Mine?

spent a fortune and still use my old tumi backpack day to day :cofcig:

Well, haven't got the hospital bill yet, but the best thing I've brought home is my new baby daughter!  Even brought her home on Father's Day!  

Way to large smoker...

Bought 3 pairs of Bose QC35 noise cancelling headphones for AUD$765 (RRP $499) on an ebay 1 hour EOFY sale. Already flogged 2 of them for nearly the same amount that I paid for the 3!

During the same week, I bought a new Xbox One S (even though I already have an Xbox One 1Tb). Bought a WD Black 2Tb hdd and enclosure to go with it too. Now I'm selling my old One 1Tb.

And lets not mention the amount of wine I've recently purchased on a whim...

Maybe I should give myself a pay rise?

I haven't purchased anything non-cigar related in years. Wait, I did buy a new pair of shoes but I am still wearing the old ones...

I got a new driver, 60 bucks on second swing, the titleist 909d3 from 8 years ago. Just hit it 320 off the deck at a recent scramble onto the green. Worth every penny. Also bought my wedding suit.

...how soon we forget!

So I just had a crown break and spent yesterday and some of this morning at the dentist. The temp he made, promptly cracked! Pig jaws you know...!

So he was late and I went over to the computer store while I was waiting for him. I saw that they had an 8TB external on sale ($159) so I bought it... Reading about HDD just reminded me that it was in the trunk... -LOL

Yeah, impulse, but with that bastards at Amazon changing my unlimited back up plan from $59 a year, to $1XX for 3 TB per year, I had it justified!!!

I'm in $800 into repairs over multiple visits to the irrigation system at my new house. Not sure that's really worth greener grass.  That's like four boxes of decent smokes.  Or two super good boxes

The purchase has not been made yet, but in the upcoming weeks i'm buying an electronic drum, a Roland TD-30K to be more precise. Probably the most expensive thing i'll buy this year.

Bought this a few months ago.....bored one night, looked through autotrader , found this, and decided time for an upgrade. Don't regret at all. And of course cigars on here....that's certainly not a regret either! lol

XC60? I bought one earlier this year, a 2010 XC60 T6 R-Design. Only drive it on the weekends when I take my dog out for car rides.

With 224kw, this thing is fast enough for my dog! Bit thirsty for its size, downing 11-13L per 100km. But it is a really nice car to drive. Size of a 4WD, but drives like a sedan.
