I like to break down the price on usage. Let's say I spend 1000 euros in a good quality bed made to my liking and is expected for it to last ~10 years, so price is ~0.27€/day. Can I afford that to sleep comfortable and get a good rest every day? Yes.
On the other hand, let's say I spend 600 euros in a waterproof jacket but I live in a place where it only rains heavy enough to use it twice per year. Even if it lasts me 10 years, why pay 25 euros per usage?

Reply to LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911
