I understand the need for emotional counseling. When I was single I used to go buy myself something extravagant - "retail therapy" - every time a girlfriend dumped me. After one particularly hard breakup I decided what I needed was a watch. Went to New York and bought a Cartier. My plan was to wear it around New York for a few days, but by having them ship it home I saved $800 in NY sales tax. I don't wear it often, it's in our safe deposit box. The last time I took it out MrsWD and I went out for a nice dinner. While it was out we took some pictures of it for insurance purposes and some other pictures just for fun - made me glad I bought it.
