Comex show breaks visitor and sales records

[Musicwhiz]

I have to agree with lonewolf here. Sometimes spending on items like these is a necessity to develop and pursue one's interest. These interests could eventually turn out to be one's career.

I guess this discussion is turning out to be one which compares "needs" against "wants" haha! If it is indeed the case where an item is purchased which can eventually add value to your life or career in a big way, then it is an investment and not an expense.

But if one purchases something just for indulgence but can ill-afford it (e.g. taking up debt to buy it), then it is an expense and one which should not have taken place (I am coming from the angle that one should be prudent and not excessive in their purchases).

Of course, please feel free to disagree. That's what a forum is for!
