Reddit user Cool-Change7987 asked: 'What seems too expensive but is really worth the price?'

Every now and then, we find ourselves with the urge to splurge.

Spending a large amount of money, sometimes more than we can afford on a vacation, on a fancy dinner, or an outfit we know we will wear exactly once.


Few would argue that there is no worse feeling than discovering your purchase wasn't worth it, and your money essentially went down the drain.

On the flip side, there is no better feeling than realizing the hefty amount of money you spent was truly worth every penny.

Redditor Cool-Change7987 was eager to hear the things people considered to be more than worth their hefty price tag, leading them to ask:

However, there's also nothing wrong with going a little over every now and then is also perfectly fine.

As the long-term payoff will more than justify the sizable investment.
