I spent a lot of money on my Kindle, and NO I do not regret it, I would do it again, it is so worth it to me.

thanks ladies!
Ann you have never spent more than a gas tank worth of money on something?? I am impressed! LOL!

~JOY ~bringing it 2 every1 she knows ;-) H. Jul 7, 2008, 7:30pm EDT

It depends what amount is considered ridiculous?
My guess would be, for me, No.

reply to this comment

Anne W. Jul 7, 2008, 7:30pm EDT

No, the rest of my spending isn't deemed "ridiculous." I needed that $200 handbag!!!

reply to this comment

Anne W. Jul 7, 2008, 7:31pm EDT

That I used twice...

Yes, years ago.

I was, let's say, under her influence ...

... (and she was SO-O-O-O Hot !!) ...

So, yup, I bought an air conditioner.

YUP! Kirby sweeper. Works great, I can't deny, but it's so heavy and I fell for the whole schpeal about how it cleans better than any other. $2,000 later I own one and could just shoot myself! LOL But hey... hopefully I won't ever have to buy a sweeper again!

I think I regret more the things I don't buy than the things I do.

Sharon B. Jul 7, 2008, 7:37pm EDT

Hey, I bought one of those stupid Kirby's too. I also spent a fortune on a gym membership that did not get used as often as I thought it would. I have since cancelled it and bought a treadmill that sits right in the middle of the living room. It is rather hard to miss a reminder like that.

Yes, I bought a Chevy Blazer once. Wouldn't say it was ridiculously expensive compared to other SUVs, but boy did I regret it!

Nothing really comes to mind, but on my budget I have to fit everything in so it's tough to make purchases like that.

Yup: Cello, Guitar(s), Dogs, Kids (Not necessarily in that order...)
And paid $14K to lawyers to get divorced in '89; and I would have paid double that if I needed to....it was worth every single penny and more. (((smiles)))

LOL @ Anne

I got a $300 Mylo and while I don't regret, there is a new one out now so mine is outdated. *sniffle* Must get the Mylo 3 when it's out.

I spent a lot of money on a college education.....the thing I regret is I could've gotten in on the ground floor for Gatorade....I wouldn't of needed college if I had invested the money in that....

I have never been an extravagant spender, but will spend a lot more on my kids and husband. My husband has spent far too much money on the kids' wants. We both regret some of those now.

Gretchen Lee Bourquin Jul 7, 2008, 9:31pm EDT

Not too often -- I've spent too much going out to eat, and my ex bought a collector's monopoly game for a small fortune. Wasn't too pleased about that

Aunt Boni H. Jul 7, 2008, 9:31pm EDT

Yes. I have a one-of-a-kind, hand-wrought iron, magnificent standing wine bar in my parlor. It's beautiful. I love it. I regret it because I just don't entertain like that anymore. In this economy, it won't sell....maybe during the holidays.

Rebecca [Future Teacher] Jul 7, 2008, 9:50pm EDT

Nothing really expensive comes to mind. Just small things I could've lived without.

I'd first have to own a ridiculous amount of money XD but when I had a job, I was always spending my money and I wish I hadn't done that... XD but thou shant regret! >:)

I spent a ridiculous amount of money on a trip I took a trip to Scotland, not only once but I did it twice AND I'd do it again!

A trip to Australia and I don't regret one cent of the splurge or one minute of the 3 months I got to stay there.

Oh sure, lots of times. Short time, I might regret it and second guess myself, but long term, everything had a purpose, and I made good choices.

Kimber L. Jul 8, 2008, 8:48am EDT

I spent a ton of money on my car, which I don't regret because I love it and it gets great gas mileage at 36 mpg. I spent a ton of money on my laptop which I also love and do not regret. I spend a ton on my vacation every year which is much needed and the only regret there is that it doesn't last longer!!!!!!!

Yeah, I ordered a cup of coffee once at an airport without asking the price first. Now that was ridiculous!

reply to this comment

Lynn R. Jul 8, 2008, 11:54am EDT

I can't think of anything. I'm sure my husband could tell you a ton of things I've bought that are ridiculous and expensive.

Now, ask me this question in a few months and I'll have another answer. I'm buying all new appliances for the kitchen. :)

Julie R. Jul 17, 2008, 1:10am EDT

Many times. Like spending $50 for a book only because it had published one of my poems in it or the time I spent $50 for some perfume for a friend because it had the same name as she did.
