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 don’t. I get things I want if they will not jepordize things I need. So there needs to be excess slack in the budget.

      For you, is it specifically just financial aspects? I often look at the graveyard of hobbies and say… I just can’t do it again 🙂

        I enjoy food and shelter and environmental temperature controls than pretty much anything else. My first level and most common splurge is a hot bath. I want to have these things till I die. That is the foremost priority. Many splurges I have, many folk would consider not to be wants.
