Yeah. It’s not $millions, but sometimes you just want something badly enough to cough up a sum that makes some people shake their heads. After I’d gone a year without a cigarette, I treated myself to a $600 rod and reel. That’s a conservative estimate of what I’d have spent on cigs in a year, at the time. Thirty-plus years on, I’m still not smoking, and I’ll go try to gull some trout with a fly, a bit later.

Fully agree. As long as all the bases are covered, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with giving yourself a treat every now and then. A certain measure of enjoyment is important.
