I have a pretty good nest egg. I owned a home for years before it occurred to me that I could spend <$1000 on a piano to put in my own home. That piano brings me joy every single day. I'm sure there are lots of other thousand-dollar purchases I could make that would bring me lots of joy, but I never do, because I find it extremely difficult to justify spending money on myself. I bought this home so that I could live with my (future) wife and so that my (future) children would have a place to live; it's still very difficult for me to think of it as anything other than "their" house. So these people do exist.
