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!!

    I had the same dilemma about buying a motorcycle after taking my classes.

    I told myself that I could die any day from anything and I am very financially prudent with everything else. Live a little because everyone is living their best life on credit while I am sitting at home daydreaming about things because I’m too cheap.

    Yolo’d it and financed a motorcycle. I’m having such a blast. No ragret.

      We could be twins reading this comment. Although I haven’t YOLO’ed buying one yet 🙂

      I get it, and for me it’s not just the motorcycle it’s… waves hands around 😆

      Thank you for the response and perspective!!
