I've stayed away from this thread for a few different reasons. But, I'll just say that ones purchasing habits and power are relative to ones own experience and circumstance. There are things I do and buy that people would think are excessive. But by no means am I a billionaire. Far, far from it. But I'm doing okay, and I don't really care what people think about whether my purchases are insane or not. For example, I fly first class every time I fly, if possible. I'm an old dude, and I hate being in a small-assed, cramped seat in coach. Besides, I've earned the right and have the means to do so. I know people who think I'm crazy for doing that. But I think it's far cheaper than a Wheels Up or NetJet membership (although I came close last year of jumping into that game). The point is, I don't think some of the things I spend my money on are crazy or insane. But I know people who think I'm nuts. But, I know I'm blessed. I grew up in a lower middle class family. So, I didn't have much growing up. I had enough, but my family wasn't wealthy. Mrs. Vox grew up the opposite. Her family was old stock exchange, trust fund rich. Interestingly I'm much more materialistic than she is. I like to spend money on friends, andfamily. She had to fight the "she's a rich girl" moniker her whole life. So, she's not into material things. But I want to enjoy life. I'd probably buy those damn potato chips. Hell, I bought Mrs. Vox a pound of the worlds most expensive chocolate a few years ago. And over the past 6 years or so I've invested well into the six figures, on a pretty amazing collection of rare Scotch. Insane? I don't think so.
