>>20812370Spend the majority of your liquid assets on investments that generate regular gains. When a fraction of your liquid assets grow to the level you can buy toys like that, go ahead. Until then, you're spending all your ability to make money on something that requires regular maintenance spending. You will purchase that toy, ride it until it breaks, then start from nothing -- when you could have invested your 9k to make 18k, re-invested 9k, and spent the other 9k on your toy.
