So what are the objects of your desire at the moment? Physical or intangible.
This is a sort of replica of a thread on the MMM Forums “What’s the stupidest thing you’re lusting after right now?” which in true MMM fashion quickly devolved in to face punches for everyone. Even the title leads to negativity.
So, what shiny, pretty, little or big something has caught your eye?
We’re all hard working people around here and not everything can be about saving those dollerydoos.
Edit: (Just quietly - I’ve very very happy with how that gif tied this post together)
I’ll start. I have very strong desire for this espresso machine:
It is so shiny. And boxy. And has switches, lights AND a gauge. I’m saving up my birthday money and maybe will get it once other house expenses calm down.

OMG - I love that there is a ‘local’ guy who’s entire business is restoring clawfoot bath tubs. Even better his name is Ron. I want to buy a clawfoot bath tub now just to have it restored. Shame it won’t fit in my bathroom.
Yes! Coming across this guy just made me want to do it even more. His customers seem to love him. It isn’t cheap though. Probably $1500-$2000… to repair a bathtub
Restore is a much nicer word than repair. I support your plan. You’re in the some boat as us at the moment though - so many plans that cost $$$ and would be amazing to do immediately. We paid $3600 to have the remaining 3 large windows, 1 small and a front screen door added in crim safe (entire house is now crim safe). Really hit the bottom line for that month.
I desire a cast iron combo cooker, because I desire to make Tartine-style bread. But I don’t want to (possibly) move cast iron cookware in (potentially) a year’s time. What to do?
I want a new fitness tracker and I also want new plants to grow in my garden. I always kill just about everything I try to grow so it would probably be a waste of money
One of my roomates irritates me just by existing. They’re perfectly pleasant, reasonably neat, totally quiet… and their presence in the house annoys me. Their rent money doesn’t, though, I don’t want a new object, I want the absence of a person.
haha ok. But now I need to decide which one to get. I am thinking either a fitbit or a garmin but I dont know if I want one that looks good or has more features
Garmin every day of the week. I had early fitbit models and they were low quality and constantly falling apart. Credit to fitbit - they had amazing replacement policies but still…
I rock a Garmin Forerunner 935 and love it - even though it is now obsolete since the 945 dropped last month (note to self - object of desire). That is a lot of watch though if you’re not doing the running/swimming/etc.
I really like the Garmin Vivoactive 3 as an all round GPS tracking watch with activity/step tracking - and music, touch pay etc etc. Plus it looks like a normal watch. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/ - everything you ever needed to know about every tracker ever.
A landscaper. They aren’t technically a thing, more a service, but it’s so hard to pick one when I know it will be expensive but also, I know it will be really good to have a professional help plan our outdoor renovations and garden…
Can someone give me one with good green/environmental credentials that knows wtf they’re talking about without me having to do any research, kthxbai?
I also want someone to put curtains on all my windows. It took us 12 months to get around to doing 2, but I don’t want to pay $1k/window for a stupid curtain.
ETA: also a super cool nature play area with slide and cubby in my backyard. Would love one of those.
I did it. I just knew that price would drop!
