I mean "diminishing returns" and here is my case:
I got a 07/10 shape. To reach 9, i would have to restrict my diet to a point where fucks social events, or hop in test which is stupid (moneywise and add more unecessary variants to life)
I got a 07/10 job. (12k month afer deductions/ 12h shifts/ 12 times a month). It's enough for my demands, i get to invest 3k a month and at the end of ot i still have another 2-3 to spend as i like or save. Any effort into improving it would mean diminishing my free time.
I got a 05/10 car. Improving it would mean wasting a lot of money without any real benefit apart of "showing up myself". Same for my house. I live in a 36m² apartment where i have exactly everything i need, i never spent time searching for things and get it cleaned in no time. Moving would mean diminishing my free cash.
I got an eye surgery. It was expensive but now i'm glasses free, which makes me more attractive and more functional in life.
I'm debating the hair transplant. It would make me look younger and eliminate one handcap with woman. To be honest, materialisticwise i feel it's the last one. But it's expensive, gives me zero "functionality points", and I could travel the country twice with this money.
In a broader approach, i'm debating how much more effort and resources spent in the material world is really worth the return. Or if it's better to stop already and shift all into life experiences from now on.
TL;DR how much is enough? When to stop?

Good question to which there is no easy answer. If you are above average in physical looks, I would suggest it should not be more than you can afford as a "vice" -a spending that is not really any benefit to you, that takes wealth you could use better elsewhere. If you have spare money for holidays and going out, then it should come out of this portion of your income I would suggest. The moment it meaningfully cuts into your present or future, its gone too far.

Like anything TRP, does it work for you? Then ask yourself if it was money well spent
Does it not work much more? Then it isn't
There are men slaying who have very little income so you might want to reevaluate why you're asking this

Sounds like you're doing just fine, but for some reason you're just not satisfied with yourself.
You're in good shape. You have a good job. You have a good car. You have a good place. You're comfortable, and can afford to splurge now and then.
Obviously, if you wanted to improve these things, you can, but the question is, do you really need to?
From what you said, you've already improved on these things before, but the situation hasn't changed much.
That says to me that there's something outside of these foundational pillars that you're missing.
That is the question you need to ask yourself. What is the missing puzzle piece that will complete the picture?
By the way, I would highly recommend NOT getting a hair transplant. It's a money sink that will only delay the inevitable.
You are going to spend tens of thousands for treatments that don't work in the end.
What I did was embraced the baldness. The jacked bald guy look is great. Think of The Rock.
Once upon a time I was afraid to lose my hair. Now, I'm afraid that it will grow back!
Best of luck to you Young Jedi.

sounds like you are debating how much to orientate your life towards the approval of women.
I would say zero is the right answer.
Be your own guy. Do what you want. The tough part is figuring out what you actually want.

Fair question, but we can't answer this for you. We don't know what else you could do with the money, nor can we know the benefits.
Ok, you need to get to 9/10 for you. Women do not like average, and 7/10 is average to women. I think you're making excuses here.
Getting to a 9/10 body needs fuck all money.
Fair.
Shit car..... ok. That's fine for casual sex. Might be worth improving if you want quality women and a promotion. Very expensive, marginal gain.
Well. Again, we don't know how much cash to upgrade vs what else you could spend the money on.
Good house is impressive, but it's "money/relationship" impressive and not "fuck me now" impressive. The main benefits of a great house are hosting great parties - and that can really get you girls. Location, lifestyle, hosting make a big difference to your social life - for some amount of money.
Yep.
Or shave it off / have it really short. Some women really like that. So this isn't a clear win. Wear a wig for a day if you think it will make a massive difference, ie test it.
Obviously we can't answer this for you.
But what I would suggest is simple ROI. Work out how much money to save or invest (house, stocks, savings account, whatever).
The stuff to spend: work out what benefit and what cost.
Eg: Hair transplants: $10K. 10% more attractive to 50% of women. Better house / social / hosting: $2K / month. 50% more social opportunities. Car: $25K. 100% more attractive to gold diggers. 10% more attractive to normal women. 10% chance of geting a $10k promotion.
The hard part of this is even wildly guessing the returns. If you want more women, there's almost certainly more you can do for free by finding ways to meet more women.
