if you like to play pacman, and playing pacman makes you happy. than i dont see the problem with it.

being frugal is kind of bullshit imo.

may as well not bother working your ass off in the first place if you dont plan on buying things with your money.

if you are really frugal give up all worldy possessions and live like a monk already.

To me, being frugal is spending absolute minimal on the things that you don't care about but spending plenty on the things that you do care about.

Example: I don't really care about cars, they simply don't matter to me. A new car, sure it looks nice but in the end I just don't care. I do however like TVs, so I have a couple nice ones. By being frugal with my vehicle choice, I am able to spend my money on the things that I do care about.

And I agree with you. If there is something that you want and you have the money, don't feel guilty. Money has many purposes, but one of the key purposes is to allow you to do the things that you want to do. If that means buy an expensive toy... buy that expensive toy. Life is short.
