I always have problems with the idea of buying stuff. It's easy to buy stuff that you think that you want and become a slave to it. Think of the idea of buying the car you always wanted. Now you have to maintain it and take good care of it. I often think of all those guys that get up on Saturday mornings to wash and wax their prized car. They have become slaves to it. Is it really a plus in their lives?
I would say not to focus on stuff but experiences is probably your better bet. I remember the first time I went to a luxury stake restaurant. We dressed up and got what we wanted not what was cheap. It was just fun. I don't do it often but it's worth it to me. Simply because it's not something I do on a regular basis.
I know I can buy all the stuff I need to make the perfect stake at a fraction of the cost of going out once. But is it the same? It's not to me.
For you, think of something you have not done but might find enjoyable. Don't go cheap but do what you like.

I assure you, you can spend many hundreds on the stuff to make the perfect stake. Their exquisite, custom hand planes and sleds are works of functional art, worthy of use with the finest exotic wood, itself with costs that approach the surreal. Which is, of course, why going out and buying a great stake can cost so much, too.
