I’m actually quite stingy. The only thing I splurged on was our house, which has appreciated 33% in value over the past 3.5 years. For all other things I wait for specials or negotiate deals. I won’t pay full price for games either… I bought my latest laptop at R27,000 via my company (due to me needing a decent machine for development that I do pretty much 12/7), my car was bought at R100k discount and my wife’s car at R45k discount.
The only things I feel the need to spend on now is stuff for our nursery, including a cot, chair, compactum, etc…
