Just like in the title :)

Do you buy and own really expensive things, like let's say, cosmetics, clothes, jewellery, perfumes or whatever? I personally couldn't afford such expensive products but practically EVERYTHING I get is my contest winnings (I practically don't need to buy stuff for myself and mom now) and yes - in many cases those are expensive things indeed :) Like very expensive facial care creams for my mom :D Or jewellery for me :) Or - recently - I won an expensive set of Giorgio Armani perfumes for us both.

I buy silver and stocks which are fairly expensive for me.

I used to activately collect anime figures and plushies for the past 5 years. When I finally got a reality check I've decided to stop my luxury hobbies for now and try my best to budget.

I probably spent like around $2,000 total. Someday I am going to downsize my collection and sell my regrets. At least I can keep the items that spark me joy the most.

I buy thick, expensive bed sheets now because cheap ones tend to rot away in a couple of months in our climate, so the cheap ones are false economy.
Also, I buy very good quality shoes because they're comfortable and it makes more sense to have a couple of pair of good shoes I can wear everywhere rather than a lot of cheap ones I hardly wear at all.
Almost everything else I buy second hand.

I like to buy Lego. I buy the classic sets so that I can use my own imagination.
