So what makes YOU pull the trigger?

Alright so I'm looking forward to the next addition to my tiny collection. Specifically a blue YM. The only issue I have at the moment is that most of the dough is tied up in one way or another. Now, I can always charge it but would rather not. That said, I've reached a point where I want to make sure I have something special for each of my girls. The day I'm gone, or a major event in their life occurs, I don't want them to receive furniture, old shirts, or a little money..... No I want them to each have something I wore regularly that I cherished...... So anyway I'm thinking about all of this because numerous passings, illnesses, and major life events all around me have really made me look at my own mortality and assess who/what are important.... Thats where I'm at..... do I save and save, or charge, pay, and be certain they are both taken care of in this regards? Either way the same thing is hopefully achieve just one sooner that the other.......but then there's the biggest issue. We aren't guaranteed tomorrow.....ugh..... So enough wandering/rambling, what runs through your minds when you decide to buy a new piece? Something like my story? Is it a simple reward for yourself? Do you just love to buy things?? What? Maybe it gets a bit personal but I honestly wander it every time I see an "Incoming" thread........
