I think it's perspective and patience.
I don't buy half of the extra stuff I used to toss in a drawer any more just to have it. I bought a red cobby in October and love it. Gave up some of the extra purchases for a bit, opened a paypal acct that lets you pay no interest for 6 months and grabbed a beaut for around 1300.
Had it paid off with my next bonus and now looking for a ruth or gehrig. Budget your cash and set a goal and I think you can have the reasonable items. Lots of things come up I won't have, but I have never let it get me down. Actually, I have, but only when I didn't pull the trigger out of fear when I could have had it if I had a plan.
Not sure if what you spend monthly, but if it is 100 to 200 on assorted stuff. Pause it and get your Cobb. You'll be way prouder of the success than a pile of 35-40 dollar cards.
