Hello again Lemmy! I have another question.

Context: I took a motorcycle safety class, was nervous but enjoyed it, researched motorcycles, found a few I liked, talked to a dealer about them but ultimately, I couldn’t finalize a deal, talked myself out of it basically

I was curious how others might justify a purchase that has no purpose other than wanting something.

For clarity, I don’t need anyone to justify me buying a motorcycle. I want to read about your thought processes for buying something you want 🙂

As always thanks for replying and have an awesome day/night!!

    That is quite interesting. I didn’t do any long term calculations to see if I could identify a monthly spend.

    I may do that for this situation and future projects. Thanks for bringing this up.

    Also, your photos are great!! Is the metapixl instance federated in Pixelfed? I tried to look you up directly in the app I use and didn’t find anything.

    Thank you for posting!!

      Thank you for your kind words, I have used the “cost-per-time-index” for several years now, and it really helps to make up my mind.

      Metapixl is indeed a pixelfed instance, I even use the standard pixelfed app on iOS…

        Got it, I’ll take another look. It may be the instance I am in that is having the issue. If I find you, I’ll definitely follow you!

        Thank you again!
