Will buying a road bike cause you financial difficulty?
If yes - Don't bother. There is no reason you can't have a great time riding your 29er on the road, doing what it will do.
If no - Absolutely go for it. Road bikes are so much more suited for road riding that it will open up a whole new area of fun.
