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!!

    That’s still quite an investment. Not many people have 1.7k/month to spend on a hobby.

    I don’t mean this as a criticism, of course, if you can afford it and it brings you joy then it’s worth it.

      1.7K SEK is about 154€ EUR or 180$ USD.

      So its not insane money. Still a bit, but not as bad as it may seem.

          Easy mistake to make, I debated doing a quick conversion to EUR or USD, but was tired and could not really be bothered, sorry for the confusion.
