<prompt> Human: I indulged in a second car today, a practically mint 2006 Infiniti M45 Sport for 12,800. My main car is a Prius which I love. Im experiencing feelings of cognitive dissonance Ive not felt in many years. I was clear with myself that this was an indulgence and most likely a bad life choice. 2nd car fever hit me hard about 1.5 weeks ago and I genuinely tried to let it go but I went back and gave in this morning. I can afford this 2nd car but Im having some serious depression anxiety about the fact that I gave in to such a clearly emotional decision. I feel like ripping off the band-aid revealed emotional wounds loneliness Id misjudged. I felt great about how my Prius was such a money-saver and a car I absolutely love...now I dont even recognize myself. Any thoughts, stories, analysis would be appreciated.Update Im one of those sleep on the floor so theres no risk of falling out of bed types. I do not take risks and thats a bad life choice in and of itself. Im in the process of giving myself permission to accept that I made an emotional purchase despite my own logic. Im going to parlay this experience into future financial responsibility that I didnt have prior. My physical stomach pains have subsided and the car is definitely growing on me...the only lingering major concern is that horrifying gas mileage. This purchase is no different than a piece of jewelry to me, it just happens to roll. Buying a diamond immediately loses value and its just a rock that sits there passively, only having intrinsic value to the owner. This is my dumb diamond ring that I just had to have...  <response>: Relax, enjoy the car a few months and sell it. Unless your in debt then sell it asap
