Do I blow my savings?

[speccy1]

I have (after a beer fuelled evening) now got a gap in my fleet

After browsing around Ebay and the like I really want to treat myself to a Specialized Venge or something along those lines. I wasn`t going to spend a huge amount to begin with but am now considering blowing my savings of about 4K on a seriously nice road bike - instead of a car.....yawn.

The justification is that it`s my 40th birthday present to myself (ok, my birthday is December, but that`s a minor detail), but the thought of spending money like that on a bike scares me. Been stewing on this for a fortnight now, what do I do? I sure as hell don`t know!

Hey No problem. You might want to Google pre and post purchase dissonance whilst you're trying to decide.

 

[Mrs M]

No
You have doubts, don't do it.

 

[screenman]

No way.

Definately ..... Do it now, you are only this age once and it's the perfect age to own s £4K bike .... In 30 years time you will be looking at £8k ones .... So buy this one whilst you have the opportunity

Do you want the bike?


Can you do without the £4K on a car?

Is it your birthday in December?



Have you been a good boy?



If so, hell, treat yourself.

How many bikes have you got then speccy?

I'd only spend £4K on a bike if I had double that in savings.
You can get a pretty decent bike for £2k
