To add a counter-argument, at 29 I bought a (1yr old) Porsche 911sc (money from the sale of a software program). The sensible course would have been to invest the money, and I would likely be richer now if I had, but I don't regret those years in my 30s of being single in LA with a Porsche. 12 years later I sold it for $12K less than I paid, so a pretty good investment from my perspective. My take-away is if you're going to recklessly splurge, buy quality and spend enough to make a difference.
