Wedding ring. I could have spent $10k on it and the marriage still would have failed.

Fun fact: Spending more on engagement rings, the wedding itself, or a honeymoney is correlated with higher rates of divorce[1].

I think this would also apply to most investments - if it costs much higher than the average, it's likely to be bad.

That's more of a sad fact, depending on the person I guess.
