I am sometimes appalled at what I spend on non durables. I guess they are more services than experiences. Cell phone. Cable TV. Broadband Internet. Car insurance and license. Snow removal & lawn service. Homeowners insurance and property taxes. I hate that, but then next month, I just pay them again. And really nothing to show for it. No increase in assets or net worth. No sense of high enjoyment.
As others have said, I do buy things for the sake of the experience that they provide. I play the upright bass, so of course I needed to by an upright bass. I like to cook, so I need cookware. I love to travel, but hate to fly, so my ten year old SAAB has nearly 200k miles on it. Oh, well. I shouldn't post when I feel whiney.
