How much are you actually willing to spend on little trinkets? Sometimes you just crave a bit of nonsense, you know, like a new vase, something for the kitchen, updating the throw blanket, or some New Year's decor... I'm curious, what do you already consider wasteful and unreasonable spending, and what non-essential things do you allow yourself without a guilty conscience?
Can anyone recommend a good 50*70 pillow? Most of them quickly turn into a lumpy mess.

Do you have your own income, or does your husband react calmly to such expenses?

There's no limit, and no remorse either. If I felt something was necessary to buy, then it's a necessity, not extravagance. Only my parents could limit me as a child; my husband doesn't allow himself to do that.

I don't like trinkets, I consider them clutter and unconscious consumption. I prefer functional and useful things, and I'm also against impulse buys and irrational spending.

I have my own income (more of a hobby) and my husband earns enough that he doesn't count my little wants... The main thing is that if I'm happy, then he's happy too... And if I get bored or don't like something anymore, I give it away.

For me, splurging means clothes 🤣🤣🤣
I'd need a whole apartment for them, not just a closet 🤣
And for non-essentials, I'd say blankets, creams, and bedding

I could buy a beautiful lamp for 10k, I wouldn't mind spending that much on it, but I felt so stingy about buying a jacket for 10k. My husband bought it for me though!

There's no price, there's my desire. If I'm truly over the moon with joy, then it's not just a trinket)
But I'm not a hoarder, a burning desire arises rarely, other things make me happy

I used to spend money on all sorts of unnecessary things. Now I still buy things, but I can limit myself sometimes. It's not about the money, but more about not wanting clutter around. Even though my income is much higher now, I've become more sensible with my spending.

I can never walk past plates of all kinds without buying at least one. I especially love deep bowls, soup tureens, and the like, because I love cooking soups – it's my passion!

That's why I do everything to make sure they are not only delicious but also look as beautiful as possible in the right dish.

Well, I might splurge on a vintage brooch if I really love it and it's pricey. For example, last year I bought an antique Georgian buckle for 22,000 rubles as a New Year's gift and turned it into a brooch. It brings me joy, so I don't consider it a waste.
But at the same time, I can be stingy with 20 rubles if the price is low and I know I can get it cheaper elsewhere. Or if I have to buy a 0.5L bottle of water at an event, theater, or museum for 200 rubles (even though the same bottle costs max 50 rubles at a store), I'd be really annoyed.
