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

2k on a kayak and assorted gear would be way better spent. I miss rivers

what type of rivers? whitewater? I'm strongly considering quitting my current job and going back to being a river rat.

 

might not be the best choice ever but could be a hell of a lot of fun for a couple of years till I come to the conclusion that I need a real job again haha

Everything near me in Colorado needs a creek boat.

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?

 

My question to this....how easy could you sell it if needed?

 

If you can unload it quickly, and not lose too much, then why not.

 

Also saw that you may put it on a credit card.  Please don't do that, just pay cash.

It would probably take months of trying to sell it to get back close to what I'd pay for it.  Also on the credit card...I have immaculate credit.  I've never carried a balance on a credit card, therefore Citi Card is willing to offer me a card with 0% interest for 18 months.  I intend on using it for band related purchases that might not be able to be paid back right away like t-shirt sales and general merchandise...but if I put this guitar on it too I wouldn't be too upset about it...in a pinch I could pay back the balance but I would rather pay it off with money the band makes which would take more time.
