When we purchased the last tv, I was thinking about getting the best features for the best deal. Well, I also was thinking that this tv should last for at least 10 years and we should get the best one we can afford now. Then I started to rationalize that we don't go to movies that often and that we could create a home theater experience. Also, credit plays a factor as well. My budget was to pay cash for our new tv, but if credit was used, the costs would skyrocket. It's easy to get carried away. Great post! I struggle with the large ticket items as well.
