@Jtdmum.  People who own and have used it, love it.  So if you can afford it, why not?  We all buy things others might consider foolish.  At least its utilitarian unlike an expensive piece of jewelry.

Totally agree with you @Kachina624.  And it is not really about maybe considering $500 Blow Dryer to be "unpractical" or "way too much money to spend on hair". 

These are legitimate reasons, and can be settled in our mind using this simple formula - Too Much Money/Unpractical = Don't Buy. 

But getting so upset that such "expensive thing" is even offered for sale, for those who may be interested, that's funny! 

Maybe OP @Jtdmum made a little point here - "You know you're getting old when..." Lol!

Because when we are young - we want everything! Regardless if it's not practical Especially very expensive things! Even if we can't afford them ...... we just want!

I know, as I get older, I want less and less.

Believe me- I can more than afford- Several if I chose to.  I guess as I get older or possibly would say- "mature" I think more that It's a foolish choice- especially when I see people starving in this world. it's not what you have, It's who you are.

I don't know what the hair dryer has to do with getting old but I feel if it is something you can afford and makes your life easier why not.....It would be a waste for my thin short hair since any dryer dries it in about 10 minutes... Once when I went with my daughter to get her hair trimmed, it took sooooo long for the stylist  to dry it.  It must have take an hour to dry it.

Aubegirl- 20 years ago I would have jumped on this like a hungry dog on a meat wagon. My point--My priorities have changed as I get older,that's all.

Half a thousand dollars to dry my hair.  Hm..

@Jtdmum  Yes, the dryer is expensive for some to purchase, however I have no idea what that has to do with knowing you’re getting old.

If I had $500 to splurge on something, it wouldn't be a hair dryer.  My hair is getting so thin it air dries in no time.  I would spend it on one of those laser things that supposedly grows hair!

I know I am old:  I am still using that little “ gun “ like Clairol Hair dryer.  Even have another one at vacation house.

Not to tempt fate, I have a new dryer in the linen closet....just in case !

Must have saved a lot of $$$ over the years, lol !

i am another one with fine, thin hair that doesn't take long to dry.  Several years ago (at least 5) I saw an Amika dryer on HSN.  It was over $100, but somehow I was taken by what I saw and ordered it.  I was positive that it wouldn't be anything special and that I'd return it.  Who would spend that much on a hair dryer?  I certainly couldn't justify it.

But, then I used it.  i got it at the end of the year, so had over a month to decide whether to keep it or not.  It didn't take a month to know that I couldn't part with it.  It's such a great dryer.  I still use it and still love it.  

They Dyson looks great.  But I can't justify the price, so I'll stay with what I have.

Must be the same company that sells a $400 fan and a $400 vaccume?  They must also sell ocean front property in Arizona no doubt😜😜😜😜🤓
