I remember when I got my first (and only) iPad - excitement filled the air as I opened the box and stared at what was essentially a big iPhone but without the phone part. I knew I really wanted it, and at the same time, I knew I didn't need it.
Buy with your heart, not your head. You can look at all the aspects that make a purchase practical, but that kind of thinking makes it an investment rather than a home.

I do get pleasure from very inconsequential things, like shopping for clothes.
Minibars are very appealing, especially when someone else is paying.
A lot of people made their first luxury fashion purchase, but at a discount. And that made it an easier purchasing decision.

I've got a Ferrari 430. It's black. I don't know what it cost but it wasn't cheap. I bought it because I was being a boy. It's fast and looks good.
I made an impulse buy of a house in Maine to make my wife happy and now have gone back into debt and it's all started over for me.
