We all find ourselves wanting to buy something we shouldn't. What is the biggest or most expensive item you've bought that you really didn't have the money for?
Mine was a Rainbow playset for the kids. We wanted to buy a play center but knew the ones at Walmart and other places have weight limits, short warranties, and usually fall apart in a year or two(especially in the South with hot summers). We went out and found a Rainbow dealer about an hour and a half away that was running a 50% off sale year-end event. They are commercial grade playsets that have a lifetime warranty and no weight limits(so my fat but can swing with the kids). I got it HALF off and still paid nearly 4k$ for it, and this is for one of their entry sets! Good thing we have two kids coming up that will use it or it would have been a major waste. They will come and disassemble it and move it to your new house if you move at least. I mean, we paid as much for this as a small used car. I can't imagine paying full price!? The part where we couldn't afford it is when we put it on a 0% for a year card we were approved for(through the dealer), but paid it off in 6 months while my wife was still working. She was going to homeschool when that school year was over, so we knew her income was going away and the kids needed more to do at home, so we bought this. To get ready for no income from her we just put her whole check to the swingset. This was the biggest purchase out of our comfort zone I think we've ever made for something that wasn't practical for us. We don't regret it, but it still baffles me I actually bought it. lol
