I've spent $40k on my new motorcycle obsession over the last 3 years, and spend what ever needed to keep them rolling. I read motorcycle forums with people talking how they really want a particular bike, but pass on buying because it's not a great deal. I could careless getting a deal or not, as long as it's what I want. Saving an insignificant amount of $$ to pass up a fun toy is not worth it to me. I feel extremely privileged to be in such a financial position to do so.

I have a mountain bike riding buddy in his mid-60s. For the longest time, he wanted to get a nice e-bike but didn't want to pay full sticker and kept waiting for a "deal" so he could save a few hundred bucks. I told him he was being foolish to wait---he was wasting his remaining physically active years for the sake of saving a few hundred bucks he didn't need. Eventually he came around and got a nice $8k e-bike and couldn't be happier, but it took a lot of convincing for him to see the light.
