I completely agree, but I think that it feels a lot more like an investment than a purchase. When I buy something it is because I want it more than I want my money. When I kickstart something it is because I want something that is not real to become real. I'm willing to risk wasting my money because I want cool people to do a cool thing. If they try hard and fail, I don't feel like they owe me anything else.
