i've spent about 2 months out of each year for the last 7 years travelling to japan or europe. each time there is usually some big ticket item competing for my dollars.
often times, when i succumb to the material good i'm perpetually disappointed with it in what it can't do or offer me.
last year i went around the world (ireland 1wk, england 3wks, france 1wk, italy 1wk, belgium 3days, china 5days, japan 1month) and it cost me about $7500. i was thinking of buying a fancy TV instead. had i bought the TV i wouldn't have spent quite as much, but no doubt i would have just sat on the couch ... watching TV. even though $7500 is A LOT, i've never regretted it. not once.
