Do you ever just spend money you know you probably shouldn't?

I went ahead and told them to go ahead and ship the guitar I preordred back in April. I had been on the fence since the guitar and case together is just over $900.

I probably would have said no, but we just finished a massive project today and I'm feeling good about it. And I'm about to leave early as well.

Oh here is the guitar I bought.

I'm nowhere near good enough to justify such an awesome axe, but they are one of my favorite bands and he is one of my favorite guitarists.

Congrats! I have a hard time not feeling that way for any large purchase. However, there have been very few that I regretted in the long run.

If it's not immoral or illegal and you can afford it, do it

When in doubt, buy a guitar

Well I just dropped way more than that on car repairs that didn't solve the target issue (but did others). So at least you have something awesome to show for the hole in your bank account. So... congrats!

Slush fund says it's time to buy something new... lemme see now

On a regular basis

I just dropped $26 on a new watch and feel that way. I'm a bit of a tightwad sometimes, though.

If I had $900 burning a hole in my pocket, I can't think of a better way to spend it than buy a cool silverburst Flying V endorsed by one of the dudes in Mastodon.

I've been fighting spending urges myself. I very badly want to do something stupid/awesome. Glad SWMBO is around to stop me.

I have a hard time feeling bad about spending money. I work for it and I have no plans to die rich.

I bought a pistol, passat, and challenge car parts this month. I know your pain.

And here i was just gonna buy the ultimate edition of forza horizon 3.

I'm not trying to hoard it, I'm just trying to have some

I bought a Triumph TR8 days after the wife quit her job

I know how you feel, although it's all relative. Money is so tight now, I feel bad spending money on food.

I have to give the ex a mortgage payment sized check every month. I second guess myself when buying everything. Someday I'll have money again so I can splurge on fun things.

Nope, I save, and save, and save.

I’ve been doing it for so long now that the ROI on my existing savings plus what I contribute to my savings each year nets me over a quarter of a million bucks per year in gains yet I’m driving my wife’s old 2003 Explorer because I can’t bring myself to parting with money.

Honestly, I’m kind of messed up…along with finding spending money repugnant, I absolutely loathe disorder and inefficiency as well. These three things probably only seem related to me because, well, as I said, I’m kind of messed up.

If I'm being good and not spending extra money then I end up with extra money and then I find cars that cost that much. Right now I'm battling with the fact that I sold my Civic and trailer and that money is just.....sitting there. Of course the R63 is going to eat it all, but.....more cars.....

All the time.

Spent last year doing exactly that. Not proud of it, but it was a great experience.

In reply to KyAllroad:

I can hardly wait to get into this.

I wish I had $900 that wasn't already spoken for.

I would absolutely love to buy the factory hard bags for the bike. I have the money sitting there. But, the once in a lifetime trip to Disney world is coming up and I know the woman would be very hurt that I would rather spend it on the bike than saving it for the magic kingdom. She has been planning this trip since the day the boy was born. Waiting for him to be the age where he would be old enough to remember it but still young enough for the magic to be real. After many setbacks over the years, the time is right and the money is there and it's finally going to happen. And all I want to do is buy motorcycle parts.

In reply to Nick (Bo) Comstock:

Well, I wish I could tell you it will be money well spent but after you get back from the compulsory "married guy with kids" consumer whore vacation (sold as the new american dream in TV commercials)... you will still be thinking "Damn, I should have bought those bags when I had the money".

You know what you have to do.
