True, but people do spend a lot on cycling kit to mark life events: I bought a bike to ‘celebrate’ my first year at my previous job, and a saddle to celebrate a new job the following year.
But it sounds like you bought that for yourself? I'm all for earning money and spending it on what makes you happy. I just don't like the guess what an adult with their own disposable income might appreciate as a surprise thing.
