When it comes to spending I live my life by one simple rule...
Spend more on the things that you do the most and spend less on everything else.
So for example, I spend about 12 hours on my computer every day. I use it for work, gaming, running a side business and hobbies. So naturally it makes sense to have a really good computer. I didn't think twice about buying a really great machine.
Of course, spending that much time in front of a computer has it's downsides. To balance this out I have a gym membership and a home gym. I see this as in investment in my health.
Likewise, we all spend about a third of our lives sleeping. Having a good bed makes sense.
Forget about what "most people might think is too expensive" and optimize your life for the way you want to spend it.
This is a great philosophy.
If you use a machine for a long time, make sure you have a very good chair. Spend $1k or more here.
Same for the bed, spend like it’s something you are using 1/3 of your life, cos you are!

This was my philosophy for my bike. a lot of people cant imagine it. Those people generally ride their bikes around the neighborhood with their kids so I don't blame them. I ride my bike 400 hours a year and do ultra endurance races.
