You're only further rationalizing why it's ok to do so.
Upon reading about how you rebought the phone you just sold..especially considering how much this phone is..that is just incomprehensible!!
It seems like you can just throw this money (well over $500) with little to no care! Anything that enters the 3 digit range for me requires a lot of debate, and usually follows with a lot of buyer's remorse. I just can't imagine how you would not regret buying a 1200 phone. IMO it (the phone) doesn't impress anyone unless you hand it over for them to inspect.

I know, re-buying the phone, especially for more money than I paid on the first one, just goes to show how uncontrollable my thoughts can be when I really want something. Both phones I got deals on them, so $650 and $750 were discounted prices. had I not found that kind of deal on the 2nd one, i wouldnt have gotten it again. But I was very close to buying somewhere else for $900cdn.
And yes, I have no sense of the true value of money. That explains why I go throw down $400 like its nothing, on glasses when I didnt even need it. All I had to do was fix my old pair, and at that time they were only 2 months old and those were $200. Boy do I ever regret getting the 2nd pair, its just sitting here, used only when I go out. Was using them everyday at work, when i was working, and the old pair at home. Or how about the days when I used to spent $25 a day on lunch eating out.
Thank god, I have that part controlled, I rarely eat out now, which is good.
