Things that you rationalize

Been thinking today about how often I dupe myself into things by rationalizing them to seem like they are a good idea. Things like: "Just this once", "Been a long day so I deserve to kick my feet up and veg out", etc.
What are some things that you rationalize or what are some things our culture rationalizes?

now that I'm getting old, rationalizing is almost becoming a natural thing

Sunk cost fallacy. It’s a gamblers nightmare.
It relates to a lot of things though. Stock price going down and not getting out of position. Etc

Pretty much anything I buy for myself. My husband always says “you make your own money, you don’t have to explain anything to me!” Yet I still do.

I need to buy another gun so that the government can’t come after me.
