What to buy?

I havent complained but the misuss smashed another car, the good news is she got back double what she paid for it..a first in insurance history, but with two thefts of vehicles and 3 crashes in 18 months something had to go right.
Thinking it would be me who would have to find the cash for the new car I have been living on boiled rich and custard to save some cash..Well she got a new car with no help from me..and I have saved enoguh to buy a car (upto 4k) but I cant help think a new mount at 2.5k and a triplet 80mm scope 1.5k would be nice. Knowing that you guys would not think such foolish thoughts I turn to you to guide me away from more equipment..Do I need a car ..not really I am too busy with astronomy to worry about going anywhere.. or should I buy a fridge.. It is sobering to look at a car (say $4000 worth) and what is in it and then imagine an eq6 witha 80mm triplet as being similar value... I sortta feel I may have lost my ability to keep it real.
It was easier when I only had imaginary dollars to spend.
How do I resist the urge not to blow it all on new gear..the marriage is dead already becasue of the 12inch purchased over a fridge so I cant do anymore damage from her view point (only to myself) but what if I was to die in the future (it could happen) will I regret not getting the eq6 and triplet?? What does a smart man do???
