In other words, you didn't pay $60k for a toy, you only paid $40k-$45k for it!

Life is fragile and we all take a lot for granted but we do have right now... make the most of it and have some fun..... the bottom line is you have to enjoy things here while you can.
I bought my Camaro in December. 
No regrets! |
Man, I'm sorry. My condolences. This has always been my mentality as well, but I guess growing up poor has a way of messing with your head. I felt guilty when I bought my house too. Felt guilty when I bought my motorcycle. I felt guilty when I built my gaming computer. So maybe I just feel bad spending money on ME stuff?

More like lack of confidence in your decision. Not the same thing, more like you've stepped out a little past your comfort zone. I think you'll get past this soon enough.

Thank you. You're right.
This is a big purchase for something that no one else gets to see or enjoy, and that's where some of the guilt stems from probably.
