Night Elf Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 My answer: the counseling for some of us in my immediate family. We're all being helped. DH: our new bedspread that we like so much. We were using old blankets that were a hot mess. Now our bed looks nice and the bedspread is warm too. (Of course by the morning he ends up with the majority of it and I'm cold on the other side of the bed) :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Not exactly mine, but oldest ds bough a 3D printer as soon as he’d earned enough money from his first summer job after high school. He *loves* it and has already printed another printer and has them both going all the time. I’ve sent filament to him to print me some Christmas ornaments. Best Christmas present ever since he’s enjoyed it so much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'm really having to think about this. This was the year of paying things off, saving, and mindful spending. I guess it's a toss up between the money DH and I spent on our pop-up vacation (first two week vacation in our married lives; first ever for me) and the money I am currently spending at the dermatologist to fix my skin problems. The gas money driving to the Cities to play tennis; without spending that money I'm not sure the I would have gained the confidence to do everything else that followed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historically accurate Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Decreasing debt DH returned to school DD1's counseling - a calmer DD is always a good thing DD1's outsourced school - she is enjoying working for someone other than me DD2's speech therapy - finishing her last sound this week after 10 1/2 years :hurray: DD3's gymnastics - she is exceling and enjoying her own "special thing" ETA: I can't think of anything I spent on myself this year that warrants the list. I should probably think about findin something for myself next year. Edited December 10, 2017 by beckyjo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Money spent on getting my hair cut and colored. I feel so much better when the job is done, and I always like the way I look when it's done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We are about to spend $1,500 for a trainer to work with Jenny's therapy dog. Money well spent for certain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I have been delighted with the combination alarm clock/fitness reminder/foot warmer/entertainment system we adopted last February for the bargain price of $250! 🶠2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G5052 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We've had that kind of year...LOL. We actually discussed this earlier in the week. Another for family counselling. A stretch on my budget, but well worth it. Earlier in the year we also paid out-of-pocket for several IBS tests that brought about diet changes that made huge difference. Being healthier and happier is a huge blessing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Therapeutic Massage for my tight muscles. A desk-type, corded phone for the landline - totally going back in time but this phone works very well after we had a series of China-made cordless phones that died after 5 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Updating my wardrobe. I feel much better about myself and how I look. Same here.

Night Elf Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Updating my wardrobe. I feel much better about myself and how I look. Oh, that's another good one! I've so many good pieces and love getting dressed every day now. I spent a small fortunate because I think I got 4-5 boxes between Stitch Fix and Trunk Club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Small vacations for the family, even when it seemed foolish to spend the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Travel Another one for updating my wardrobe. I bought a few new things from Stitch Fix but have consistently worn them this fall. Well worth the money. Especially since I hate shopping with a passion. Also, a Bravewriter class this fall for my oldest. I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it but I was really impressed with the amount of feedback that ds got. It helped take off some of the burden from me as we started 9th grade. And even better, he recently agreed that it “would be ok†to take another one in the spring. This is a HUGE step forward from a kid who has hated every other writing curriculum/approach/class/etc. we have done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
