> a far greater ROI
sometimes this is self-deluding. You perhaps didnt need those luxury furnishings, when a barebones one would've done the same job. It's an excuse that some people use to justify their splurge.

I know that one person’s bad luck doesn’t cancel out good rules for financial management. And I agreed completely with you up until 16 months ago. But in retrospect, I would have made different choices.
It isn't even splurging, just spending some time looking through Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.
Everyone reading this: Take care of your back!
From the photos, the Embody looks a LOT better.
They are generally poorly made, have terrible ergonomics, but absolutely excel at being plastered with logos and advertisements.
Get a decent mattress and pillows. Replace your pot from college with the handle that falls off. Paint the room you hate the color of. The ROI on such things is huge.
I agree with you (and clearly like your username), but writing to ska is quite amusing.
Thanks for commenting and I hope you have an excellent day! :)
My wife used to wear a wrist brace for years until she started benching. Now she never gets pain. Lifting is also one of the safest sports there is. Highly recommend it for health, especially among the nerdy crowd who may not be inclined to try it; building muscle doesn't reduce nerd cred.
And yes, no doubt some people use that as an excuse to over spend. But that doesn't mean people don't take it to the extreme in the other direction as well.
It really does come down to the numbers. If I can spend $X to take in $5x over the month, you should do that.
indeed, but the point was that the $5x is not known in advance, and in fact, might even be an emphemeral figure.
Buying the right chair and desk for your height is not a luxury, but buying something expensive, when a cheaper version, which would've done the same job, is available, is to me the definition of luxury.
Just like all turing complete programming languages do "the same job" at some level. But we'd all be more productive in your choice of high level language over any processor-specific assembler.
Then it becomes a matter of asking when does it transition between appropriate and luxury. Which grain of sand makes the pile?
Let's hope your customers don't have that same "anything but the cheapest option is luxury" mindset.
