Gratuitous Material Wants - General Discussion Forum - Page 2

Hello all... This is a thread to share your most gratuitous wants! Let us all bathe guilt-free in the decadent waters of ultra-materialism and share some of the stuff we'd really like to buy - but are just a bit too frivolous and/or expensive to justify. Perhaps something will catch your eye that you'd never considered... who knows?! To start - well, let's start small... I love a square Casio G-Shock. For all of the brilliant watches in the world and some of the nicer one's I've owned; may favorite watch ever is my current G-Shock GMW56101ER. It's sized perfectly, keeps as near to perfect time as is possible, takes a beating, is solar powered and as has a great retro look. And, it was only £100 new and looks as good as when I got it nearly 2 years ago. Casio recently released a stainless steel version with an updated module and even sharper styling. It still works as a beater watch but is just so. damned. good looking! :-) Alas, for reasons, it's retail point is £450(!) with a pretty strong after sale market going already. Dumb as it sounds, were I to suddenly come in to a lot of money - this would probably be my first purchase. How about you lot? What are your deeply shameful material demons?

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala.

A timely thread.
My younger brother recently spend near enough £1000 on a gold bracelet and my family have been wanting me to do something similar for some time now (gold tends to keep value).
I don't find 'investments' like that attractive. It's not something I'd ever wear, so what's the point?
Funnily enough he did tell me that he thought it was a bit much one day after his purchase and is now saving it for 'special occasions'.

Earlier in the year I thought about buying a Audi TT. Found a good deal on one, but couldn't afford the insurance & settled on a more economically friendly alternative.
I've always liked the car and that's probably the first thing I'd buy if I was to get an unexpected cash flow.

Realistically though I'd probably just buy a top of the line 4K TV or buy some property to rent out^^.
