[QUOTE="Dannywhiteley, post: 495120, member: 6547"] Over the years you just get used to spending more on stuff and as your working career (hopefully) progresses you have a little more disposable income to support it. I remember my first £10, £100, £500 and recently £1k purchases. Each one a milestone, but justified if you are getting a decent deal that at least won't depreciate significantly in the next few years. Time to consider that purchase and recoup if needs be (as long as you spent wisely initially). Don't get me wrong, the instant cashless payments really help, but for the most part I consider it relative to other things. I have a separate collecting account, and no one goes without. I can always sell something if needs be, thats what allows me to be honest with my wife about any high end purchases I make. I'm actually selling a few bits currently to reduce a small debt I deliberately allowed to build up over the last 12 months as I purchased a few things I knew I could recover costs later on. No panic or guilt. [/QUOTE]
