I spend at least $1,000 and probably more per year going to Ohio State college football games. I really don't care what anybody on here thinks, because it's a family thing, and it's a huge passion of mine, and I love it. But, I do not have cable eight months of the year, I drive a used Honda (don't care about cars), always find myself trying to get deals on insurance, etc.
I seriously don't understand what OP expected. "Should I buy a $1000 BBQ Grill?" Should you?! This is MMM, of course not!
@bonesmtb2 if you want to spend $1000 to occasionally grill hamburgers and hotdogs, well, it's your money. Don't expect many here to think it's a good idea. You got answers to your question, perhaps not what you wanted to hear, but you don't need our permission.
+1.
Look, I get it. I've posted many times here about my StupidCar. And I love it and never intend to sell it and don't really give a shit what anyone else thinks. But, see, the thing is, I would never come on here and ask anyone if I should buy it. Because it's a StupidCar! And, I mean, it's a ReallyFuckingStupidCar! I freely admit that it is a horrible financial decision that no rational person should actually make! Luckily, I am FI and still working and have put myself in a position where I can spew dollar bills out the tailpipe if I want to, so I don't have to ask anyone's permission here (and you'll note that I didn't).
But if I had asked, I would 100% fully expect everyone here to tell me that it's the stupidest idea I've ever had and what the hell was I thinking? That's
why I come here. I have an entire world that tells me that I
neeeeeeed a new ShinyPretty, that I
deseeeeeerve to treat myself because I work
sooooooo hard. This place is the only place I know that reliably calls bullshit on that sort of, well, bullshit.
So, OP: No. You should not buy a $1000 BBQ grill to throw some burgers and dogs on. That is a really stupid use of money. Now, if you have extra money floating around that you feel like seasoning your burgers with, that's your prerogative. But don't expect most folks here to help you rationalize blowing money that you don't need to when many cheaper options will serve the same purpose just as well.
