One item I spent more than expected on was a laptop. Initially, I planned to spend around 15 million VN for a basic laptop to help me with my studies and work, but I ended up paying about 20 million VN. I bought this because my old laptop was becoming really slow and outdated, and I needed something more powerful for my school tests. Since I was preparing for university exams, I also needed a laptop with better performance for my study and work. I think I spent more than expected because when I started looking into different models, I was attracted to laptops with better specifications, such as faster processors, high RAM, and better graphics. After reading reviews and comparing, I realized I could benefit from getting a higher model that would last longer and handle everything. I needed a smooth experience, so I ended up picking a laptop that had features I didn't originally consider, but I feel it was worth the investment in the long run.
