I have been working so hard to try and retire early in 9 more years and I have some vague ideas about supplementing my income. Not necessarily with quilting services but by doing my own quilts. If I get it now I will have years of experience by then rather than waiting.
I have a spare bedroom that it will fit in (several of them since I live alone in a 5-bedroom house) so space isn't an issue.
Sounds to me like you have already "justified" the purchase...it will pay for itself, you have the money and you have the room! What more could you ask for? This begs the question for me.....does wanting something after working so hard for many years not qualify itself as reasonable justification?
