This has been getting me, too, because these are things that I see as pointless for myself (just because, I just don't need something like a tennis court in the backyard). I've been telling myself that the idea isn't to think that I'm building a tennis court or going out to buy 20 cars, but to feel that if the whim appeared, I could afford to do or buy this or that. The idea may not be to envision a situation in which you have these things, but to envision a situation in which you know you could afford to if you wished.

If I've totally misinterpreted that, please say so!
