Every year on my birthday, I treat myself to an unreasonable purchase. Something that I always wanted but wouldn’t just buy it normally because it wouldn’t be practical or reasonable. Something like an expensive toy, or a fun gadget, or a hobby kit.

This year I’m indecisive between the Steam Deck and the Meta Quest 3. You might ask why would that be unreasonable. Because I have a family with a newborn now so I don’t have much free time to game anymore. It would be a waste because I can only play like once or twice per week.

I would love to hear about your desire for an “unreasonable purchase” (within your budget).

    I try to live as frugally as possible, so that if I want to splurge a couple hundred every once in a while, I don’t have to worry about having enough in the bank. My biggest questions for myself is whether or not I’ll really use it, and if buying it used/pre-owned is good enough.
