Here's the scoop:
I work for a retailer and I have access to some really insane discounts at times. I bought a budget (320 dollars my price) 43" LED TV about a year ago. At the time I decided it was just a short term TV until a good deal on Sony TVs came out through my company.
We've recently moved into a house and the 43" TV is noticeably small in our living room. I can live with it, but watching hockey a couple of nights ago was pretty painful.
And yesterday, deal of a lifetime comes up.... basically 1500 for a 5300 dollar 65" OLED TV.
I know I don't need it. But my wife and I did discuss waiting for a deal like this to get our "forever TV".
Furthermore, I'm in a good financial position. Emergency fund in place, investments for the kids..... we are frugal in most aspects of our lives. And I am getting about 2700 dollars on my tax return to boot, so the money is there.
What would you do, frugal people? Bite your tongue and put it on the mortgage? Add it to the investments?
I'm flip flopping like a dying fish on this one....
