Question

Can anyone reassure me I spent money to be sane thru this debt payoff journey? I bought the ninja coffee bar, yes I bought the newest model but I got it at a discount of 20$ cheaper than brand new. Which is still expensive but will be my coffee maker for a long time to come. I am choosing to not buy as much things I used to but when I need to it will be hogh quality to last a long time. Also we purchased the bissel pet pro a couple yrs ago and it isnt doing the best job anymore. Sam's club has the shark IQ vaccum robot on sale for $100 of a price that is already way cheaper than any retail store to begin with. So I paid 420 after tax for a brand new item thatcwill save me time I spend tinkering with our crap bissel pet pro. I know it's a lot in the last week but I literally just paid off 4k on my credit card. I just feel like these items will be really beneficial on saving us money or time in the long run. It's just a hard pill to swallow. When I try to not spend money on anything.

We love our Ninja coffee bar! We’ve had it for almost three years now and have never had any issues with it! And the best part about the ninja is no expensive coffee pods! Before we had a ninja we went through two kurigs in less than three years!

@unnecessary4 exactly! I had 2. 0 so it wouldnt even let me use my own coffee which sucked. I wasnt spending the money on pods for how much I drink. Plus the coffee wasnt strong. We were gifted a insulated regular pot and I did not like the way it poured it always made a mess because of the insulated pot and I would waste half a pot every day.

@sears529 I also a firm believer that if I am going to spend the money I am going to get what I want and what I feel will last. And if you didn’t put those purchases on credit then I’d say you won the battle! The old me would just go out and buy things on credit. The new me is trying to be patient.

Recommend checking consumer reports before large purchases. High end is not always better or long l asting. Sometimes the more bells and whistles the more issues. With that said if you are no longer buying coffee out then calculate how fast it will pay for itself to make you feel better about your purchase.
