The OP clearly stated "frivolous". This is clearly something that must have been purchased!
Got talked into buying a $300 dresser. My sister laughed at me for buying it. I'll never live it down...
.............WHY!!?i once spent three hundred dollars buying about thirty different custom print mugs with my face on them, along with some Tasteful calendars, fridge magnets and at least one car bumper sticker.
i also tend to buy dumb limited print video game art
OMG! I bought this to play PSO on the GC. Best videogame purchase ever.Sometimes it just feels nice to gift yourself, nothing wrong with that. I just started working a new job not too long ago, and with one of my first paychecks I bought this:
I've wanted it for years and finally just did it. The buttons feel brand new and it's going to be great psychological warfare at the Smash weeklies. Also please post pics of the Part 6 figure OP.
I spend thousands of dollars each year collecting uniforms, weapons, and equipment from WWII. I have enough shit now to open my own museum.
This may qualify. We have a perfectly good weight lifting rack, but my wife and I have outgrown it. This week I dropped about $900.00 on a new rack, safety arms, and plate storage.
Had an instance last year where I had to 225 sitting on my chest. If my wife was not home it would have been a problem. That started the search for an upgrade with safety arms.

i will not be taking further questions at this time
would u like to look at this very good bed sheet
I spent 4 months wages on a watch that I've only worn on special occasions. I spent a further £200 for a different strap for it because I didn't like the one it came with.
Most recently? Either my Arthur Morgan Gunslinger jacket (250) or a UA Octo Satellite (1k, audio processor). I love the jacket but I've never spent that much on a piece of clothing, not including watches. I didn't really need the Satellite buttfuckit, I wanted it.
Lol frivolous, if it's the one I have worth every fucking drop of coffee that comes out of it. I miss mine soooo much when traveling for work.
Ive spent 300 on board games since February. Its a very consuming interest. I like to believe im done buying and ready to play since I bought all the ones I wanted ...except a few
A nice watch.
I don't ever wear it and when I do I don't use it. I just look at my phone by habit.

I guess my Apple Watch series 1. Got it when it was $70 off from Target a few years ago and while it has its uses I can go without it and it's one reason why I haven't upgraded and don't have much of a desire to.
I have those as well and I don't think they are silly at all. Especially when you consider how much a normal dumbbell costs. They are actually a bargain.
My 27" 1440 PC monitor was 500 and my 1080 video card was 600.
My gaming laptop I bought in 2011 was around 1100 I believe, that's about useless right now.
My way of justifying all these expensive impulse buys is always " Fuck I'm broke for a month now , but hey at least I have this thing now"

Just picked up a little LED strip for my guitar pedalboard. Only $20 but insanely frivolous lol.
Hyper Duel on Sega Saturn. A 25-minute shoot 'em up for something like €420,-
It wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment purchase either. I had wanted it for a long time and I coldnlt get it out of my thoughts, so in the end I just went fuck it eand bought it. It's out of my system now and I can comfortably say I'll never spend that kind of money on any one game again (I've always held a personal maximum of €200,- for any one game). Not that I regret it, I'm glad to finally own it, it's just way too much for any game.

Don't get me wrong, I like them, I just don't utilize them nearly enough.
