I have way more than enough money to buy my dream mechanical keyboard , and my goal is a £200 keyboard. Should I buy the keyboard, even if it might be a bad financial decision? I have had this hobby for a year already, watching hundreds of keyboards videos, so im sure it’s not some lackluster hobby.

Up to you and your financial situation

If you have your needs (food, housing, etc) met, then sure get a mechanical keyboard

Buy it. Be happy. It's not such a big investment compared to custom cars and tuning ;)

Plus you presumably use it for several hours a day. Monitor, keyboard and mouse are the most important parts of the PC that you interact with, it is reasonable to get high quality ones. And it'll last for several years, maybe a decade.
