If I want something and can afford it, I buy it. The best purchases retrospectively are always the ones I get a lot of enjoyment out of. For example I don’t regret spending a lot of money on my bicycles because I’ve got a lot of enjoyment out of riding them for thousands of kilometres every year. The only purchases I regret are ones I don’t end up using as much as I thought I would.
Obviously if you share expenses with others, you need to consider their needs to. For me that means not spending money on a bike that I’m going to need for a shared holiday or whatever later on.
Yeah, but he was working to achieve something for himself and not to make some parasite richer.
