Do you buy watch above your monthly salary / pay? - Present, Past or Future

I buy watch beyond my yearly salary...

I reckon it depends. If you really like it, go for it. Of course within your means and pay-able limit. 0% interest free credit cards, i guess thats how we make use of them. =p

I find saving to be a good way to testing whether your target watch is a real 'grail' or just an 'impulse want'. If after a few months of savings and you still want that piece than go for it.

Buying immediately does not give you the luxury of really assessing the true value of the target watch. More often then not, its impulse buying.

Happy hunting!

Lol Definitely above. I like meoramri's way. This will sort out the impulse wants

I concur with your comment.

The most I've spent on a watch so far is about half of my monthly income.

The biggest thing that bugs me about spending too much on watches is when I do the math...

And discover how much interest I'm missing out on, if I had used that money for investment instead

I bought my watches with my advance multiple yearly income !

I have mortgage loans to pay.

I have to serve monthly loan instalments.

Technically I am in debt.

So whatever I earn I have to pay to the bankers first as they are the secured creditors.

So only if I have pay off all my mortgage loan I am free and the money earn technically belong to me.

So I can say that I buy watches above my income.

 

Thinking of this then I resort to this motto. "We Live Once What The Heck Just Pull The Trigger" and don't feel guilty about it
