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 give myself some amount per month to spend no questions asked, so I don’t have to feel guilty about it. If it’s more than what I give myself in a month then I either save for a while or if I have the money upfront and it needs to be bought now I diminish the amount I give myself for the next X months to compensate.

      I was thinking about this as well. For this item I can buy it outright. Then I start thinking about what is the impact in the coming months.

      Do I save more to recoup faster… do I not care, haha.

      Thank you for responding!!
