What would you spend more money than you can comfortably afford on if you got a once in a lifetime, now or never chance to buy something at a sharply reduced price which made it merely ruinously expensive rather than impossible for you to afford? For me it would probably be a chance to buy some firearms on my “if I won the lottery” wishlist, provided they were discounted well below the going resale rate.

A home in the nicest neighborhood. It’ll take me 7-10 years to afford it but if I could snag it now, all the better.
