      It works better of you buy something that has additional positives. Like a new oven and cooking more often or something to do sports.

      But ya, I know that feeling.

        Exactly, like a 10gbe nic to transfer all those pics you never take faster to your server, or maybe some heatsinks for your nvme drives so the degrees go down a little and you can see some data on benchmarks change a little

          Or that video game that is on sale in the off chance you remember to play it later if you happen to be browsing your 200+ game library.

        All of my backpacking equipment made me feel very happy when purchasing it, and it still does every time I use it, or see it.

      That’s why I buy myself projects that frustrate me for several days, before they make me feel better for a day or less, and then I go back to how I did before.

      I really get my money’s worth that way…I guess…
