I really don't think I could be bothered about all that. I'd rather just buy it if I really wanted it and felt I could afford it.

For that mountain bike I've been looking at Buy = 40.

But hold on "Should you buy something (or not)?" seems to have forgotten something.

How much grief will I get off my wife if I spend the money on that item, rather than a new kitchen? Buy = Buy - 80

I thought correct practice was to post in NSR along the lines of "Should I buy xyz?"

Should I blow £400 on a new RC rallycross buggy?

Answer = 2.4

I should buy it.

I wonder if my wife feels the same

So an item that I don't really need (2) and is a poor investment (2) and costs £2000 gives me a 2.4 - go out an but it.

I think I now see why so many people are in debt.
