You should be able to buy all the booze and vids you want as long as you can afford it. So if buying these things are keeping you from saving for retirement (assuming you want to retire), keeping you from buying healthcare (assuming you will need it at some point), or forcing you to rack up debt then you are above your means. Otherwise youre good.
