Is it a good idea to spend a bunch of money to cheer yourself up?

I've been seriously considering buying myself a new guitar for around $2k.  I've been kinda down in the dumps lately and there's no question a new guitar would make me happy but losing the money would make me very nervous.  I need a new guitar - I've "out grown" my old one, so to say.  It still does the job but a better guitar will help me improve even more.  I've got a good amount saved up, $2k is a little chunk but not going to hurt me in the short term.  Problem is I have to move in a few weeks so I have that expense looming and I don't have a lot of extra income coming in to offset the cost - basically this expense comes right out of savings.  My band is about to release our debut album (which I already sunk a bunch of my savings into) so I'd have the guitar for those big shows, or I can wait until my financial situation is better maybe over the summer.  Or I could float it on a credit card for awhile and pay a butt ton of interest...

 

What say you huddle folk?  Make a big expense to cheer myself up or be responsible and frugal?

I say no.

Reason being is back in 2010, I went through a little spell battling depression. Somehow I convinced myself to spend my way out of it. I bought a new car, new entertainment center / tv/ surround for the house, a bunch of video games, new beds, new PC, etc.

 

5 years later, my kids have destroyed everything but the TV. And that money could come in useful from time to time.

    • I did not want to start or even think about *if* BY reverts back to pre-non last 9 games.   There is a lane in which Panthers are looking QB after this season, I feel its higher than most will realize. I mean....not kidding... has any team ever traded up to 1st overall twice in the teams history? I don't even want to think within 3 years, just foresee Tepper squeezing Dans and Brandts sacs to the point were they are forced to trade up for a another savior.....   The kicker is I feel this way with BY playing good-great..... I think there with be non-fixable problems for contract negotiations between BY&reps vs Panthers org on the whole. You can not pay 50+ million per over few years with 70% guarantees for 3,303 yards 15 TDs and 9 INTs......Cursed I tell you....
    • It's not surprising, but it's still surprising that many of these guys don't manage their money in such a way that provides them and their families a better lifestyle than most for the rest of their lives without even working a nine-to-five. I can't imagine making over a 100 mil for a decade and ultimately ruminating about supporting my family due to financial issues.
    • That why i mentioned the KC dynasty. Those three different playoff loses were not Allens fault, in fact 1-2 plays and Bills win. KC just have better players and better coaches and more luck.  Defense-wise, Bills have been trying to crack the Reid-Halhomes magic. Its near impossible with rules and KC home field advantage. Spags has started to force the league in naming him the best DC in NFL history. I agree if you take away Bill bielacheat.... Add in Andy Reid the best QB coach and brilliant play designer/play-caller, I mean that's too much for one QB to over-come on his own.  Just trolling or not, bad is bad scot. Allen is legit as any one QB has ever been.
