Do you treat yourself?
For most people, buying real estate (at least in the beginning), means penny-pinching for long periods of time in order to acquire the capital needed for the investment.
It could be months or even years of frugal living to achieve a goal, focusing on "needs" rather than "wants".
But even the most dedicated need a treat every now and again to break the monotony of what I call "the grind", in order to recharge the batteries and stay motivated.
So, do you guys (and gals) treat yourself?
What type of things do you consider a treat?
What about long time investors? Do you ever buy something knowing its a liability (a sports car, a boat, etc)?
