It is your right do dont feel guilty.
Heck my total outlay if I knew what it was would be less than the price of my red car ...if it was new..and you dont have to register and green slip your Astro gear ... I could have wasted my money on say a house or a caravan that one could call "livable" but I am not that silly... and I still dont know why she left when I bought the 12 inch rather than her precious refrigerator...it was winter after all ... galaxy season and really who needs a fridge in in the winter.. just irrational on her part and I remain faultless.
