By contrast, some who want a new bike, they can afford shoes for their kids. So it isn't an even playing field as you say.
See but that's why I said "if he can afford to own both". Hey I've bought 14 bikes for myself since 2003 (i.e. not counting 4 for kids, and 4 for significant others)...not one house, car, utility, daycare or any other payment missed. No one's ever gone hungry or without light or clothes. So I could afford to buy these bikes. Heck I still even own 6 of them.
Maybe I should have just said: it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission.
