32 Large Amounts of Money People Don’t Regret Spending Frivolously

There are a lot of reasons to adopt a pet, but for Redditor rivertam2985, investing in another member of the family had an unexpected upside. Beyond adding a four-legged member to their family and helping run their cattle ranch, adopting a mule named Loki also saved them “an enormous amount of money and labor” in managing their thistle problem. ”To our surprise, the mule cleared out nearly all the thistle in a matter of months,” they recalled, noting Loki particularly preferred “the flowers out of the center.” 

“We were able to avoid using chemical weed killers, which we really didn’t want to do,” they continued, dubbing their family pet as  “probably the best investment in our whole cattle raising experience.”

Other Redditors named more super-expensive items that were worth every penny, including nugget ice makers, once-in-a-lifetime dinners and a spite-driven video game character.
