What's the one thing you most want to buy but don't need or can't justify or afford right now?

Cool
Everyone has a few. Right now mine is probably the Milwaukee M18 Fuel high torque impact wrench, which has up to 1400ft-ln of breakaway torque, which is something that I might need maybe once or twice a year if that, so I can't justify it. But it just seems like such a cool tool to have.
If you don't know what an impact wrench is, it's what basically every service station in the world uses to remove lug nuts, and, unfortunately, often retighten them. This one's a beast and way way WAY more powerful than you'd need to remove lug nuts on anything smaller than a semi trailer or tank. But there are other car fasteners that are even more tightly fastened, like axle nuts and on suspension parts, where this would come in handy especially if they're rusted and seized.
Honorable mentions are a decent telescope, a high end sports watch, portable power station, and a top quality aluminum racing floor jack.

A new mattress is what I was gonna say too
I got a sleep number bed 5 years ago and I hate that thing so much. But since it cost so much I wanna get my money out of it so I'm stuck with it for awhile. I far preferred the $300 cheap memory foam one I got from amazon that I had before.
I have a 30% off offer on on my one American Express card so it's been a bit hard not to give in to getting an OLED on Amazon. Knowing I could have gotten the 40% off offer helps with that though....

my unasked for advice: if you are going through shit, want it, know you'll enjoy it and can afford it, treat yourself. you deserve it.

By the end of this thread though I may just end up with an air mattress

But then again I've slept on everything from the ground to a luxurious mattress and I've survived. I used to joke that given a pillow and blanket I could sleep anywhere. But as I'm getting older, that's not as much the case.

I originally came back to reply to you to say that the 30% off American Express discount only really takes off the added cost in taxes. That's why I'm still debating.
