For me it would have been buying the steam frame (but I am still in the waitlist). Also, I recently gotten into the 40k lore, but there is no way I can find the time and physical place to get into wargames.

I feel you.
I heard the banks where I live are thinking about providing multi-generational loans so people would be able to pay for them.

I wanted to upgrade the RAM and maybe the storage in my laptop, but I kept putting it off because I was being cheap.

I figured “memory is cheap, I have time”

Yeah, I wanted to swap out a bunch of stuff, basically build a new pc.

That’s not being cheap lol. RAM prices are one of the most expensive for their value things on the planet right now.

It was being cheap because I’ve been wanting to do this since before the RAMpocalypse started.

I really want to do an electric conversion of a Geo Tracker.
One with a blown engine showed up on Craigslist for $1k two weeks before my daughter’s due date.
Next time.

Last year at about this time one 8TB drive cost 2500SEK, a fair price I guess, now they cost 4000SEK minimum, I don’t have the money for that.
I have four 8TB drives that I got before the crazy mess started. I want a NAS of 32TB in a ZRAID2
These last two drives are the last component I am missing ):

A new bike to replace my 8 year old one. I can afford it, but I can’t justify it. I will probably cave once winter boredom sets in or there is a black friday discount. I’ve been sitting on it for about a year.
Also a new car. Also sitting on that, waiting for the price to drop to 25K or less, probably next year. my current car needs tons of work, so I have been stretching it out because I didn’t want to drop 5K on a 10 year old car that I was going to replace soon anyway. It’s great, but I just want something that’s quieter and more comfortable for long highway driving, which my current car isn’t. after about 2 hours the seats in my current car start hurting my back and the noise from the roadway hurts my ears.

I’m in the same place with my bike. I’ve been wanting to upgrade to electric for years now and they’re cheaper than ever. I’ll probably go through with it in the spring.

I want a new gaming computer and a gigantic monitor/tv to plug into. I’m broke to the point of skipping meals currently.

The list is long and varied.
Can’t afford: New floors and AC in my house (~$20K)
Can’t justify: a XGIMI Aura 3 Max 4K 120Hz UST Projector ($2K)
Can’t afford: A camper van (~$60K)
Can’t justify: A new PC (~$3500)
One thing I did justify recently was $2K on a new bed. My old bed was over 20 years old.

Buddy, I think the fact that you forgot the ‘t in your question means you’re asking the exact opposite of what you intend.

First world problems entirely, but I can’t justify any of the below:
A UV printer a metal lathe a 20yr old 2nd hand kit car.

I keep a whole list and get one item after another, when money allows and priority demands it. Currently looking for new shoes and a specific Laptop

I want a pair of Asics 727s but for whatever reason this particular pair of shoes is annoying and expensive to get outside of Japan.
