Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Well, according to the replies I must be the worst financial justifier. I have a big RV, an inground pool at my house, and 5 old cars that are driven hundreds of miles per year. Plus 4 regular daily driver type vehicles.
I also have a big smile on my face when using any of those. Now I do admit that they have initial and ongoing costs. Figured into my budget.
We all have different things that make us happy. Some have second vacation homes, others take long distance traveling trips around the world. Some may have extensive collections that cost money. Point is when you have your budget covered, you can spend extra on things for enjoying life. You worked hard accumulating, so now you can enjoy the fruits of the nestegg.
I am certainly over 1/4 of net worth for all my extra things that don't have financial justification.
