There is a difference between spending a little more for something you really want and dumping cash in poorly thought out decisions. Like I bought myself the EVO because I had busted my ass in college for 6 years. It's still a reliable car, seats 5, and is safe(ish). So it's meets the basic criteria that I need for a car but with a little extra something for my hard work. Yes it's expensive for a person who just graduated but it's an excess that is OK. I could have gone and bought a Cayman or even a 911 Carrera. I still could have swung the payments but it would be a poor financial and logical decision. Financial life is about moderation, not excess in either spending direction.
