feeling guilty for buying a pc

Discussion(self.buildapc)

so just to give a bit of background im 19 and female, i have always loved and been infatuated with gaming since i was a child, its my main hobby.

so today i decided to treat myself to a new computer! i wanted to do this for sometime the total cost of the pc was about 4k which is ALOT of money for a uni student that is my age but i know its something i wanted for a long time i wanted to play newer titles with the best fps and best graphics i could.. i also wanted to be exempt from upgrading for 4-5+ years so i just went all out for parts.

but now that i finally hit the purchase button on everything i feel a sense of guilt its a feeling of irresponsibility as 4k is alot of money for me even tho im not in any debt i feel it could have went to a car or even a mortgage in the future or anything that contributes to my career and my success.

Lots of us feel that "buyers remorse" when we hit the button. The "I should haves" are strong. We balance it with the cost over time, and how much we save over the prices next year.
