I can't even remotely justify or rationalize spending this much money on a game, let alone the thousands more I'll spend on a rig to play it, but at least I'm not spending it on crack and hookers...
This! and on top of that its not like you dropped it in one go.
I have about 1.3k in the game also but most of it was 20-30 here and there over the past year and I used money that I would have otherwise used to eat out or go to the movies. So its no big loss for me.
