Hello again Lemmy! I have another question.

Context: I took a motorcycle safety class, was nervous but enjoyed it, researched motorcycles, found a few I liked, talked to a dealer about them but ultimately, I couldn’t finalize a deal, talked myself out of it basically.

I was curious how others might justify a purchase that has no purpose other than wanting something.

For clarity, I don’t need anyone to justify me buying a motorcycle. I want to read about your thought processes for buying something you want 🙂

As always thanks for replying and have an awesome day/night!!

    Appreciate the detailed reply! I agree with your points. I don’t buy frivolously. Did enough of that when I was younger.

    Your point in keeping value. That’s always a good way to look at it. In my case if I did buy it and a year later I sold it, I will loose money overall. There are a lot of soft costs you won’t get back. But the motorcycle itself would still have decent value.

    Thanks for this!!
