If it was my $50k and decided both, I’d break it into bite sized pieces:
speakers: 15-20k, 20-30k; cars: 15-20k, 20-30k
then compare combos
New speakers or new car?
ever notice it’s easier to spend $50,000 on speakers than $50,000 on a new car? Why is that. Is it because my living room is not big enough for a car?
Seriously, I need a new car. So maybe I need to come to terms with that and somehow find a way for it to be easier to spend a lot of money on a new car. Maybe it’s because a speaker doesn’t come with annual recurring costs like insurance and all the gasoline or electricity you gotta put into it.
Or maybe I just do both.

I'm surprised no one has said speakers are in a category all by themselves. No one should be viewing a cost benefit equation when they contemplate buying speakers. How many people contemplate not going to church and going someplace else - maybe a bad analogy. So I rationalized things and believe I should move forward and purchase the speakers which are probably gonna be more than what I thought they would be and then at some point down the road purchase a lovely car probably made in Germany because certain European cars are fine to purchase used from a dealer as I have found countless times. Further, in the end it just means heirs to my vast fortune will receive that much less and somehow that is OK with me. And to have some fun I plan to split the speaker pairs between two beneficiaries for the fun of it.

@emergingsoul I suspect whomever your heirs’ estate lawyers & therapists are will applaud the split-the-speaker-pairs plan. Mini-full employment scheme for them! (But I’ll assume you’re joking, and the idea is pretty grin-inducing!) |
