The classic conundrum, money out of the blue. Not a huge amount, but enough to make one ponder.

My brain says "401K catch-up - Save! You're not getting any younger'.
My heart says, "Yee Haw! New Camera!", or "Yee Haw! More chrome for the motorcycle!".

This isn't about me, it's about you. Where do you REALLY fall on this sort of thing? Do you have the self discipline to do the smart thing?
