Excellent point. If you calculate how much it will take to retire, slotting fun money becomes an important study. Especially if your retirement fund fell 40 - 50% recently.

On the flip side, maybe I should have spent it instead.

Well what about shoes? And LV hand bags? And LV purses?

I'm more than willing to spend $ on a faster car if there's no speed limit. Hitting 135mph was fun (could've went faster) but illegal.

It's like paying for a precision rifle that's capable of shooting 1.5 miles but you practice at a range that's only 200 yards.
