Spending Spree Justification

OK, so I've been pretty up for a while and yes, with BiPolars, that always gives one an itch to buy stuff. Buy, buy, buy...

But tell me if this isn't a rational justification for purchasing my 30gig iPod:

If I get an ipod this is what happens:

• I don't have to replace my broken old discman - R 500 (prices in SA currency)
• I don't have to get a bigger external hardrive to back up on. It no longer fits everything anymore (especially with the 25 gigs of music I've recently downloaded) - R 800
• I don't have to get another compact flash disk for my digi camera. With a little gadget on the ipod you can download straight onto the ipod - R 800
• I don't have to replace the CD player in my car. Can just plug the iPod in - R 900
• I've got a credit note at the local store which I'll end up spending on something I don't need. Use it for the iPod purchase and I save - R 400
• I don't have to burn all my music to disc - 50 disks - R 100
• I don't have to fiddle every day with which music I'm gonna listen to. 5 minutes a day = 35 minutes a week = 30 hours a year @ R 250 an hour (what my time is worth) = R 8 750
• Having every kind of music at my fingertips is bound to help me with mood management and become a helluva lot more productive - priceless (but we won't add this one to the numbers)

Total money saved = R 12 250
Cost of iPod = R 3000

PROFIT = R 9 250.

Tell me a better ivestment!

(ps when my dictaphone breaks down I won't need to buy another one - just get a plug-on for the iPod. Another R 600!)
