Yup. I gifted myself 2 years ago. It felt amazing. Don't buy it because others have it. Buy it only if you truly want it.  
 I wanted to own a PS since I was a kid. Never could afford it till recently.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Firstly, a bit of background about myself: I'm a 24-year-old senior software engineer living in Bangalore, working in an early-stage startup. I make close to 2L a month.

Since my childhood, I've always wanted a PlayStation, but my parents never got it for me, saying I had to study and stuff.

Now, I can afford to get one, and my parents are not going to stop me, but my girlfriend is against me getting it.

I just want to know what you guys think. Should I get it and fulfill that childhood dream?

Should I get a Playstation 5?

Ps5 will stay with you forever. 
 Gf won't 
 Choose wisely

Is it worth to updgrade? What better things are there in PS5. I know about GTA 6 not coming to PS4. Will all new games slowly move to PS5?

What's the best birthday gift YOU have given YOURSELF?

Not celebrating birthday with friends.  
 This is for saving my money. 
 I am broke 🥲

I've been wanting it since I was a kid just like I wanted an ipad. I pondered over ipad for 2 years and then ended up buying it. It has been 8 months since I bought it and it's lying discharged because I don't know what to use it for.

Similarly I've been craving to buy PS since I was a kid. I like gaming but not too big of a fan and now im concerned that even if i buy PS 5 will i use it?

Whats your suggestion? I don't want to throw 50k like I did for iPad. 🤐

PS: I can very well afford it so money isn't a problem. It being worth the money and I being able to use it is, and I don't know what to do

Should I buy PS5?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have been pursuing some aspirational products like Apple Watch SE, Airpods Pro 2, PS5 etc. since a long time. I go to the Amazon page and add it to cart but then my conscience questions me as to is it worth spending so much on it? I earn decently and live in BLR but still I dont fully understand to give my mind a valid reason for purchasing a 40k Watch that shows time, some metrics and some automation. Also 20k for listening music, 50k for playing games.

It feels as if is it sane to spend much on these personal material stuff? How do you folks look at this while making purchases?

How do you justify expensive purchases to yourself?

For some ps5 is not about price, it's about their dream to buy since college days (many ppl I know bought it) and same goes for other stuff as well.

what's that one expensive gadget you bought, which was worth it

I’ll go first, getting that old PSP, the one which had WiFi in built. Or maybe PlayStation 2 which was like 5k-6k back then.

Now, I could get a PS5 or buy games to play on my PC, but the feeling is lost. Just like my childhood.

I guess I lived a part of my childhood today. Went on a walk and had a Cornetto IceCream, which back then I didn’t have the money for and had to buy an Orange/Cola IceCream. Then, I walked around my society.

Saw a few kids playing football and instantly teleported back to when I was a kid.

Now that child is gone and the dream has too. 
But still, it feels good remembering that 5 year old me would be proud of adult me, and that’s what truly matters. 🥰
