I don't get wet when it rains, etc. I could get the cheapest used car possible but I didn't. I got something a little larger with a few luxuries because I wanted it. It's pleasant and comfortable.

I agree whole heartedly with that. I'm very much willing to pay for luxury. It's part of the reason I got a lot of education and wanted to make decent money.

I didn't pick up a Kindle to save money. I picked it up for convenience. Don't have to go to a store or library to get a book. I don't have books cluttering up the house that will only be read once, or have to find time to sell or donate after reading.

I work hard and a lot of hours so convenience and luxury are very important to me.
