Discussion on: Do you buy domains for personal or side projects?

I bought enough domains for projects which ultimately went nowhere that I became very reluctant to do this... Just out of principle. If you buy 10 domains and do nothing with them it's maybe not a huge expense depending on your economic situation, but I just decided I need more skin in the game first.

(Companies should probably not follow this principle, and just buy the domains if they're at non-premium prices)

I hear ya.

I think I only had one other domain that I purchased, did nothing with, and ultimately let go. I've yet to buy a premium domain, so I'd bet i'd "lost" 12-15 bucks a year for a few years.

What I also didn't think of is additional web hosting for multiple domains.
