It's actually odd. I've had pretty decent windfalls come my way a few times and after it happens, all the crap I'd wanted so desperately while I was broke, suddenly wasn't that important. Case in point: I found a blue '69 Chevrolet nova at a pawn shop for $3,000. If I was broke, I'd have stayed awake at night dreaming about that car and "saving up" for it. Yet I had more than enough at the time to buy it outright, and prepay all the fees it'd need for the next year. But I looked at it and had no desire at all to get it. Same thing happened with a luxury watch I was looking at. REALLY wanted it when I couldn't get and once I could my attitude was "I don't need to spend $8,000 on a watch." I guess when my big one comes, I'll be ok. Just my $0.02 on the subject.
