    What unneeded services and goods do you spend your extra money on?

    I just spent over a hundred dollars today buying a praying mantis and mesh cage, some pokemon cards (crack packs), some drinks, and a houseplant. The mantis will only live a few months, I never get my money's worth from Pokemon cards, the drinks are already in the stomach (or maybe it left already) and every plant I've touched has died. I'm sitting here thinking I might have just wasted that hundred dollars but it all brought me a bit of joy but now I'm wondering... What do you guys spend your extra money on? Do you also finding yourself thinking you wasted money after spending it?

    Praying mantises, actually lol What instar did you get your mantis at? They can live over a year from birth to death, or slightly longer, when kept in captivity

    I buy d&d dice too.

    I also recently spent an unnecessary amount of money on some houseplants. (and soil, and fertilizer, and new pots...) They make me happy and brighten up my home office space, so I don't feel too bad. I also used to kill every plant I touched, but when my old boss gave me two plants for my birthday, I figured I had to get it together so I wouldn't feel like dookie when I killed them, hahaha.

    Definitely the most unnecessary thing I buy is petsite stuff though. Too much!

    Nothing. All my money is always spent very wisely.



    Honestly for me it's 2 things: skincare and food.

    There's only a handful of actual oils/ingredients that are medically proven to guarantee results but every time Sephora has a sale, everything looks so shiny and promising. I think it's the feeling of pampering myself when I buy and use those products that do it for me.

    And with food, I love trying new products - especially if they're on sale (sale is my favourite word if you havent noticed ) . Costco can be really bad for me sometimes.

    Gacha games for meeeeeee. I have to limit myself to only one at a time, because I will whale for a character I really want. I actually had to sit down and give a stern talk to myself, lol.

    Fire Emblem Heroes is my main one right now! I just started Genshin Impact, but I told myself I will be free-to-play, and have been MOSTLY good about sticking with that rule. It's been two weeks and I've only spent... $50, maybe? Whereas there have been characters in FEH that I've spent $300+ in a week trying to pull >.>

    Thankfully, I have the means to do this, but it just gets ridiculous sometimes!

    I've spent countless money on dota 2 cosmetics. Not anymore though.
    The last thing I bought was a new phone 3 months ago, which I didn't *really* need but it got me very satisfied. Right now I'm really trying to save as much as I can for more important things

    I'm also guilty of buying petsite stuff.

    As far as tangible items, I used to buy more yarn than I could ever use, but I've kind of kicked the habit since being unable to walk into stores to check it out. I also buy more books than I actually read.

    Looking through my recent purchases, I've been pretty good about buying thigns the past few months, but I have a lot of subscriptions or recurring payments I don't use very much or take great advantage of (so many premium accounts on so many websites).

    Besides Neopets, I have probably spent wayyy too much money on pins made by artists. But hey, I'm happy to support small artists and businesses while getting cute little collectibles!
