<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2305956, member: 69760&quot;]I do. If, say, I need to spend $20-25<b>*</b> on a new 128 GB SD card, I actively think of the opportunity cost of a nice .999 silver coin I could buy instead. This goes for food, entertainment, utilities, etc - everything. I put everything in terms of government issue .999 silver rounds, or the next new coin I want to purchase. With this perspective, I determine if non-coin purchases are &quot;worth it&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I get stuck, I put it into extremes. For example, is the short term pleasure and memory of a whimsical night-out, worth buying and keeping long term a unique and rare silver coin that&#039;s not even on my wish list? It definitely depends on the specifics, but that&#039;s generally how I look at things.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about you? Am I the only one that thinks like this (it may be a bit extreme)?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><b>*</b>Why? Because I want to future proof the things I buy with higher quality products so as not to buy them again or anytime soon - average yearly cost tends to be cheaper.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
