I always wondered how my coworkers in tech (imply to) spent so much money (even without kids) and then I hear things like "you can't buy a car for less than 50k these days" or read these posts. Then you test drive a 20k used car and the only thing that is more than 10% worse about it about it is how quickly your ego goes 0 to 60 :) A good couch costs around 1k and I'm pretty sure based on extensive experience the $200 IKEA couches are quite decent.
- OptionOfT 3mo agoI'm not gonna argue the car thing. I like cars, so when I spend money on them there is emotion involved, and all logic goes out the door. But for the couch, is it unreasonable to want a couch in which I can replace the foam? For not wanting a throw away product?
- sershe 3mo agoHow often do you need to replace foam? Our 10 years + 2 moves old couch (that cost iirc $700-800 then) is basically good as new. I guess we don't have kids or dogs, the worst thing that happened to it is a gerbil briefly finding a way into the hollows :)
