Hello again Lemmy! I have another question.

Context: I took a motorcycle safety class, was nervous but enjoyed it, researched motorcycles, found a few I liked, talked to a dealer about them but ultimately, I couldn’t finalize a deal, talked myself out of it basically

I was curious how others might justify a purchase that has no purpose other than wanting something.

For clarity, I don’t need anyone to justify me buying a motorcycle. I want to read about your thought processes for buying something you want 🙂

As always thanks for replying and have an awesome day/night!!

    I have a fun budget. A % of my monthly surplus goes I to it, and everything (excluding food) that I want rather than need come out of that pot.

    I then have no guilt over spending my fun money, unless I think I could have more fun using it for something else.

      This makes sense for sure. It’s always easier to spend when there are no other pressing issues or needs.

      Absolutely no guilt if that’s what you intended the money for. Great way to look at it!!

      Appreciate this!!
