I get the appeal of the idea of "BuyItForLife"

I get the appeal of the idea of "BuyItForLife" but the concept is rife with rich chumps trying to justify needless high-end purchases to themselves and folks hawking wares. The fact that the subreddit is devoted to lists of high-end brands rather than advice for repair and maintenance is just one hint.

Someone, I swear to god, was talking to "BuyItForLife" about which VR headset was the right BIFL pick and I got pilloried for pointing out that consumer electronics, particularly trend-chasing ones- are only BIFL under extremely depressing circumstances
