Isn't it really just about priorities? I spend what some people would think is a lot of money on audio gear and music to play on it ... but a lot of people spend more than that (on a yearly basis) on booze and smokes (and many of them cannot really afford those habits).
My expenditures have some longer-term value (that could be recouped if necessary) ... their's have no residual value, unless you count the long-term value to the health-care industry. It is all about where you place the importance of your money ... although I do enjoy a frosty once in a while.
I am not allowed to have a signature line.
