A 10K trip on a yacht in Galapagos Islands is definitely worth it if you have all your financial obligations met, have good EF, fund retirement, and you always wanted to go… and is not worth it if you won’t be current on your bills if you miss one paycheck.

The quality of the item did not change, just the prospective.

And parties on both sides would be guilty — some who can’t afford it or just don’t share the same interests will say how ridiculous it is to spend this kind of money on something like that.
There is not only the “you only live once” party.

I understand that to each its own. For example, I would not spend a dime on baseball tickets or sports memorabilia, but I understand that some people enjoy that, and so it is not a foolish choice (if you can afford it).

Life would be so boring if we all had the same criteria for what is a worthy item/experience.
