Between vet bills and food it probably averages about $1200 a year.
Also, going to a fancy hairdresser. Shampoo, head massage, cut, color, blowout, glaze, costs about $400 with tip. I go three times a year. So that is also about $1200 and it’s worth it. My mother on the other hand goes monthly and pays about $100 give or take, so it’s about the same. I don’t have any grays yet so I can wait a few months in between hair treatments and then just soak up all the luxury.
A towel warmer! My kids and I have elevated our bed time routines now. We put our pajamas in it a little before bed and do our routine. Put the pajamas on right before bed and it just feels so luxurious!
My gym membership is like 1000k a year but the convenient location and stress relief it gives me makes it worth every penny imo. It’s worth it to me to pay more for a membership I use than sign up for a cheaper one with an inconvenient location and never go.
My IPL hair removal device. It used to be a massive chore to shave, requiring lots of exfoliating and chemicals to try to prevent razor burn, and it was barely effective. I could only shave my bikini area once a week max, and I had very pale skin and very thick, dark body hair.
Now I’m practically hairless all over my legs. Still working on other stubborn areas, but it’s better overall.

Dog, $800 in a Walmart parking lot from her first owners.
Litter robot! Only one of my cats uses it but I still like that I only have to scoop one litter box now.
Temperature controlled mattress pad. I’ve never slept better in my life.
Purse and soon to be projector for cookie decorating!

A baby grand piano at an auction house for $250. A lazyboy rocker/recliner for my second maternity leave instead of a cutesy glider for the nursery.
Recently? Four jars of brownie batter nut butter from Ground Up PDX. That stuff is divine.
Also, tickets to see A Doll’s House. I haven’t been to the theater since before my son was born, so that was enjoyable!
