This is so true. I drive a 2004 Nissan Fuga. It runs great, and probably will for another 5-7 years while I'm in Japan. No mortgage, no debt, no bills to speak of. Might as well dump a little cash on something I'm passionate about. Does it make "financial" sense? Probably not...I mean, it's certainly not an investment. But I'm blessed to have a bit of spare change, so why not?
