To begin with, I would like to talk about an item that I spent more than I expected. It was a laptop that I bought for my studies. In my degree, I needed to write a thesis and do more research. For this reason, I needed a laptop and tried to find a new one. Firstly, I searched online and found a cheaper option. However, whenever I visited the store, I realized that the more expensive one had many more features, like better memory and an Intel Core processor. For this reason, I decided to buy that one. Although it was over my budget, I think it was fine. I felt worried about it, but now I am satisfied with my decision, and it turns out it's a very good investment for me.
