[quote=Anonymous]I had two gym memberships for a year.  Neither was particularly expensive on its own and I used both frequently.  One was close to work and one was close to home, and my busy work schedule made it difficult to work out if the gym wasn't incredibly convenient.  I had a few friends that questioned this "luxury", but the fact was that I made over $100K, had a mortgage that only cost $13K a year and $100/monthly of gym costs was completely reasonable.

These days I have an iphone even though it's $35/month more than a regular phone because it's convenient to be able to check email/facebook or gps a location from anywhere.  (I kept my previous cell phone for like 7 years because it kept working.)

I don't buy new cars very often - about every 10 years - but I buy Acuras instead of something cheaper because I like them and they are reliable, but also nicely styled.  I could spend $10K less on a car but wouldn't like it as much.  I feel that it's worth the extra $1,000/year to drive something I love to drive.[/quote]
