A friend of mine said something similar when he spent personal money to
put an SSD into his work notebook computer years ago.
"It was an investment in myself. I spend 8-12 hours 5 (or more) days a
week on my work notebook. So I spent ~150 to make my life better."
I ended up doing similar within a couple of months.
It was definitely worth it.
