What it really comes down to is can you afford to throw the money away, write it off, and never see it again. That is an extreme example as most any bike, boutiquey or not, will have some residual value that can be recouped. If your bills are paid, retirement funded, you have no other significant financial commitments, what is there to stop you? Its why we work, is it not? To enjoy the fruits of those labors? If all the other commitments are met, then "I want that!" is a perfectly reasonable justification. I doubt anyone ever said on their death bed, "wow, I wasted money on that..."
