I've developed a pretty serious whiskey collection. Started a few years ago and I'm up to probably 90-100 bottles spanning 3 different shelves/cabinets. Scored my first bottle of Pappy a month or so ago. All of this in time for my daughter to hit an age where it's probably wise to put the whiskey away.
I keep all our alcohol in our 3rd garage stall which is walled off, carpeted, heated and serves as a bit of a man cave. I'll need to get a remote key pad to lock that in the next couple of years and come up with a random ass code my daughter will never figure out when she's old enough to be curious.

I have four pair of Tieks designer flats. Over-the-top for me, but my husband's hunting boots cost the same or more.

BTW - Has anyone ever researched the word bougie? My husband heard it and asked what it meant, so we looked it up: The word "bougie" comes from the French term "bourgeoisie," which refers to the middle class. (Disclaimer: Yes, I know the meaning has evolved.)

Got a nespresso vertuo machine for Christmas. I now thumb my nose at Folgers bean water.
First, I thought I was bougie because we upgraded from our Nespresso to this bad boy

A Jura coffee maker, only way to live. And I too have an app controlled heated coffee mug for the office and a travel mug. Life changer.

They are a game changer. With that said, I quit playing them with my tendonitis flaring up in both elbows. Just too expensive to send into the woods.
Yeah I would stop playing them too because of that. When I was rebuilding my swing after my spinal fusion, I would play economy balls because I wasn't scoring good enough to play them while sending $5/ball into the woods or tall grass.

Originally didn't think I had anything in this category but I suppose a $300 weather station would probably be classified as that.

Thank you for this post. We stayed at a B&B on a Caribbean vacation that had a coffee maker that made incredible coffee. I just kept going back for more. Since then i have regretted not getting the details on that coffee maker. I just now googled Jura and that is exactly what they had. But holy $h|t those things are pricey!!!
