Is there something you bought that you really regret?

B Natural answer

Yes. I once bought a fancy coffee machine because I thought it would save me money, but I barely used it. I probably brewed coffee at home only a handful of times before it started collecting dust. The worst part is that I convinced myself it was a smart purchase, even though I knew I was being careless. In the end, it was used it twice and then forgotten. That was a real waste of money, and honestly, it was my mistake. Now I try to wait a few days before buying anything expensive.
