Periodically I am seized with irrational desires. Lately it’s been for a very expensive watch again. I am confident these desires we have for things stand in for deeper needs.
A watch means orderliness craftsmanship precision. It is absolutely nondispoable.
Absolutely irrational.
I have a fake watch not a role another expensive brand. Looks very real.
Makes me sick to wear it. Even if it were undetectsbly identical to the original I’d still hate it.
A watch should be aauthentic.
People probably attribute these kinds of irrational longings to real estste.
The watch I want is not worth the asking price objectively.
I don’t care.
My heart cries out but my head calculates.
Desire is strange.
[quote=scaredyclassic]But if I wore it 15 years it’ll probable be worth what I paid for it then and it’ll have been free except for the interest I might be earned on it…[/quote]
I think you’re looking at this the wrong way.I think the way to look at this, is…..
You want to pass it on to your kids, so they remember you by something.. In the meantime, you’re going to use it to ensure that it becomes a personal item that they can say “was yours”…. Since you have more than one kids, you’ll need to get more than one to make sure your kids don’t fight over the only one you have…
See, a Porsche GT3 is a good example.. If I get a GT3 now, it’s definitely something that I could pass on to my kid 20-30 years from now.. And it might even be a collectors item..
Karma says if you buy a more expensive watch than your boss has you will be laid off within the year! Kinda goes along with letting boss win in golf! I personally have a Pathfinder 3043 that I like a lot but got for a good price, like half off, just a little over $100.
