How do you justify the amount of money you spend?
As above,
Im starting to wonder if I spend the amount of money that I want to spend it, how do I justify it?
Anybody got any good reasons?

Its your money. You do what you want you with it.
I hate it when people tell you what you should do with it. I work hard for my money, if I want to set it on fire I will. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

If you are asking the question maybe you cant justify it so think twice.
Im in a minority i guess , the Missus Knows what I spent on my motor, work to a budget ,otherwise it can escalate out of control.

simple, the day you have to justify it means you can no longer afford to do it.
i get lectured at work daily about spending on my cars, i put it down to that fact i'm the only one there not already being measured up for my wooden long term sleeping box.
"why don't you save for a house" simple, i can get a 60k mortgage wich still leaves me 60k short of the price of a house that i'd actually want to live in, even if i save every penny i earn for the next 4 years i still couldnt afford a house and would be bloody miserable in the mean time!
"why don't you put the money away and let it earn for you" why?! i die tomorrow my folks then have the hassle of getting it back off the banks and i've worked bloody hard then to pay for my parents holiday?! i think not!!
end of the day you do it because you enjoy it, the day you stop enjoying it stop spending on it.

Some good replies!
I wouldnt like to think how much money I have spent on my car at the moment, but trying to justify spending another shed load is very hard, I know that when its done, I will love it more than ever! But until then im gonna be just spending money continually!
Which I think in anyones book hurts!!!
BTW, Im not trying to justify just speding money on it, I mean im trying to justify spending a lot of money on it!
Anyway, good to hear some peoples opinions!
Hopefully i will come to a conclusion soon!

if u didnt have a hobby like a car to spend money on then you would have loads of spare money and would spend it all on drink and drugs.
"as the boys get older, the toys get bigger"
better than spending a few grand on a set of golf clubs to walk round a field. when it would be so much more fun to go round that same field sideways and ruin it!

Fair enough!!! If thats where your enjoyment lyes then you have to go with that!
I find that I cant enjoy myself by getting pissed it only makes me feel like shit! So thats that one out of the equation.
