I'm fishing for some stories here. What is the one purchase that you always look back on and say, "why the hell did I buy that?". Cars or otherwise, monetary loss does not have to be the base of the regret either.
Every once and a while I play video games. Three or four years ago, I purchased an Xbox One. I played it a solid amount as I had more time on my hands. Fast forward to Black Friday 2018, I found a special edition of my system on sale (essentially the same thing with some marginal upgrades) and decided to pick it up. Almost immediately, I regretted buying the system and the seller didn't have a "cancel order" option. I would have to pay $30 to ship the system back for a refund and decided I would have a better chance selling it on craigslist. After a couple weeks of lowballs and trade offers for old iphones I finally just hooked up the system and "enjoyed" the marginal upgrades. I ended up giving my old Xbox to a buddy who is now really happy with it so I guess my story has a happy ending.
