It turns out its hard to find legal areas to fly it, and everyone hates you.”
Husband has always wanted a boat.
I always said no, you wont use it.
Then he got really sick.
The doctor thought it was cancer.
He started looking at boats again.
So he bought the boat.
He did not have cancer."

I knew the price was going to double and thought it’d be a good investment.
But cemetery plots do not sell like hotcakes.”
“I tend to get into things, and then I obsess over the new ‘thing.’
In the past, Ive spent a lot of money on yarn for when I learned to crochet.
I have spent money on art supplies for watercolor painting.
I then bought a very expensive iPad so I could learn to do digital art.
I wouldnt say I never use these things, but they arent used as much as I imagined.”

“Three mountain bikes.
One for my partner, which he never uses.
One for myself, which ended up being too big and I couldn’t return it.
A second one for myself that was a much better fit, which I never use.
Plus accessories and upgrades for all three.
I probably spent nearly $5k.”

Bought a nice new printer a year ago.
Still havent unboxed it since I just print out anything I need at work.”

Now my personal truck rarely gets used, which makes me sad."
