Some (un)achievable pieces
One can wish for, want and hope for, but realise that it's lunatic to save up that amount of money and buy a wrist watch - before paying off the house, car, boat, cabbin loan or invest in something much more lucrative and value-added item than a wrist watch. Because there are not many wrist watches that increases in value. And if you get hold of one - don't wear it, because it's value will decrease with tearing and wearing.
