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.

rivertam2985 4y ago Edited 4y ago spent $300 on a mule. An actual living, 4 hooved, long-eared mule. We raise cattle, so a protection mule was a good excuse. But, really, I just fell in love with him. He's huge and sassy. He'll steal your hat and run away. He's got a Ninja mode where he can sneak up on you, just to breathe down your neck or startle you. Не does keep the coyotes away. However, he has proved himself priceless because he eats thistle. When we got the lease on the land for our cattle the pastures had

chiree - 4y ago . Edited 4y ago 600€ for an hour of laps (three of 20 minutes each) around the Nurburgring in Germany. It was open in the off-season and there wasn't a single other car near me the whole time. 10/10 one of the most thrilling experiences of my life. Edit: I rented a car at the track which is why it was so much. You can bring your own car or rent one there, but they don't allow commercial rental cars. Individual laps were I think 20€ each at the time. - 30K ...

Bbutton21 4y ago The summer after graduating high school, I won a decent amount of money playing online poker. Since I wasn't going off to college and all of my friends were, I decided to buy them all ridiculous going away gifts. A carpet, mailbox, toilet seat etc. were among the gifts. The most expensive and ridiculous gift I bought on a whim was a massive wheel of cheese, somewhere between $200-300. Little did I know at the time, that cheese wheel would set off a yearly event called Cheesegiving where our entire (much larger now with spouses and kids)

Colonel-Cheese 4y ago My fiancé and I dropped close to three grand on a kitchen table and coffee table from Carolina Game Tables. The kind where you can take the top off and have a board game space underneath. They're comparatively plain compared to some you see online, no lights or USB ports, no cubbies, drawers or cup holders. Just really solidly build solid wood tables where the top comes off. But hot damn they've been awesome!! We use them all the time. One unexpected use was legos. I got a Lego set and started building it on the coffee

CantFindMyWallet 4y ago My wife and I were on our honeymoon in London in 2016. We had just gotten an influx of cash from friends and family, and we went out to dinner at the Savoy Grille. They had an absurdly overpriced tasting menu with the option of overpriced wine pairings. We ended up dropping about $600, and it was honestly the best meal I've ever had. The service was off the charts, with little stories about each course and its accompanying wine, and they had the timing down perfectly. Just a fantastic experience from top to bottom, and if

Work was grinding me down and I needed a break. My wife and the rest of the family couldn't go, they were working or in school. The tickets were expensive, $850 each for bare-bones economy narrow rock hard seats, it was a 12 hour flight that was packed to the brim - I was getting bedsores by the time we arrived. We rented snorkeling gear and a car, and spent every
