Unnecessary luxury choice problem. (lemmy.world)

I wanted a Rolex yellow OP when it came out, waited for a year for it but then it got discontinued. I changed my 'reservation' to a DJ41 green mint. Waited 2 years for that and I guess the market cooled and I'm allowed to buy one. But should I? I really have a hard time struggling to know if I want the watch because I like it, or just because I've waited so long for it and it was a very wanted item during the pandemic. It might be a bit too big for me, but it's a sturdy good watch, but it might be too flashy, but it's a classic, but it's a lot of money... Anyways I still have a few days to decide. Not sure if there's a solution to make a choice I won't feel icky about later on. "Should/shouldn't have gotten it".

I've noticed many times people who say things like that are pretty unhappy and are in need of community.

Consider using the money to improve your outlook on humanity. Helping other people helps my outlook, might do the same for you.

True words, but you sound like a general more positive person than me. I'm pretty sure the damage of meeting more crappy people will quite undo any effect of meeting nice good people. But I do enjoy people, just the crappy ones really dig in with me.
