Totally agree. Everyone has their extravagances. That might be a car, or clothing, computer, travel, housing, whatever... If there's something you can enjoy, I'm all for doing it. Most of us (in particular) just need to occasionally swat aside the little shoulder angel saying that you could get by with less, then go for something you enjoy or are happy with. And I think if were all were to look at ourselves and "confess" the ways in our lives we've spent more than necessary, we'd (thankfully) have quite the list together. Underlying theme behind it all though: responsibility in managing those wants and desires vs. real ability to afford it.
Thanks for the reminder, DS... you're probably very right, alot of the strings tend to frown on luxuries, even if not intentionally.
