Yep.
But...
I'm just enjoying the odd birthday gift/work bonus splurge before real life takes over.
I don't apologise for what I spend and I think if you don't blow stupid cash at the weekend boozing or overpay money on a showy car then you can make allowances elsewhere and but the odd bat here and there. Cut your cloth accordingly.
Choice is choice, and seeing how some people have posted here about the virtues of one bat but own and show off a new one every couple of months then it's obviously a case of say one thing and do another. 
I totally agree; I visited Salix a couple of weeks ago for a new bat, and spent a reasonable amount of cash on it, but it was a 50th birthday present, so I see no issue with that, it was my decision. Consumers choose to spend their money on whatever takes their fancy; be that bats, cars, TV's, digital SLR's, booze, cigarettes etc. Luxury means just that; something that is conducive to sumptuous living, a frippery, not a necessity. I wouldn't dream of spending £400 on a camera for example, but that's my choice, my lifestyle and hobbies determine where my cash is spent. That said, I wouldn't dream of spending £400 on a GM / GN / Kook etc either!
Choice is choice as Alvaro puts it....
Anyway, my 10p's worth (as I wouldn't dare spend more than that on an opinion
)
