<prompt> Human: Im 33 and still cant figure out a good system for this. I grew up not what I would call poor or in financial stress, but mostly because my parents were very smart with money, and we didnt buy unnecessary things. Now my wife and I have a combined household income of around 150,000year. Good e-fund, retirement fund is an ok place a bit behind because started late because both in grad school, but catching up quickly through extra contributions at work in addition to ROTH IRA.Now I want to buy a new camera. I have one that is about 8 years old, still technically works, but tech has changed a lot, and I am at the point I would want to upgrade anyway. I never plan to make money as a photographer, and honestly phones take decent pictures now, but I really enjoy the extra I can get with a dedicated camera. I see a camera I want that fits what I have really wanted Sony a7 III for those who need to know and it is going to be about 2000 or a little more. Now I can safely spend it and not have any concerns, but I have never spent near that much on something outside of a car or house. My last camera was about 600 and that was a lot to me, granted I made less then. Any way how do you deal with situations like this. Part of me feels like growing up with less money made it so I dont have the ability to calculate a purchase of this size. Kind of just get a does not compute or out of range error back from my brain.  <response>: You make 150K a year and youre debt free, either besides your house or not, and you have your emergency fund and youre catching up on retirement savings? No upcoming pressures like child going to school that youre going to pay for? Nothing?I would just buy the camera, homey. Its 2 grand. Even if you drop the camera the day after you get it and theres no warranty, its 2 thousand bucks. Not the end of the world.
