I had to think about that too when I ordered my MacCreary-matching hose, but I didn't think of it as $100+ on socks, but rather as something made especially for me. And I thought about all the other ways I could spend $100 and not think too hard about.
$100 is a trip to the grocery store (for milk and juice... how did all that other stuff get in the cart?)
...four or five dinners out with friends.
...1/3 of the cost of a good quality lamp, or two hardware store designer specials.
...three fill-ups at the gas station
...four bottles of gin
...twenty 5-draw Power Ball/MegaMillions plays
...one goose-down comforter
...four gallons of interior latex paint
...eight trips to the cinema (OK, well this one I think about waiting for the DVD)
Anyway, you get the idea.
Do be mindful of where you stash your pennies. As both a bank employee and one whose house has been broken into and robbed if all loose change, consider the value of your savings accounts to help you meet your goals.
