Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?


It's really tiring. Audiophools, Snake Oil, why buy this/that. I don't give a rip what others do, although I like to read about it but none of my business. I'm just not geared that way. People want to buy a Lambo, 10,000 buck cables, 100,000 buck loudspeakers, it's no skin off my nose yet some people are obsessed with what others do. I don't get it.

Well with that I'm off to practice my yoga. If you're not aware that money buys life then you're one of the oblivious privileged. 

 

….. Scratching my head really hard trying to understand what you exactly mean. Yoga, money buying life, oblivious privilege, and stuff. Deep.

On a different forum a dealer was discussing value for the dollar in equipment and someone chided him by saying, :Yeah, this is the guy that will sell you a $5000.00 DAC". As if that were ridiculous. I thought to myself hmm, I have a $5000.00 DAC. But I drive a four year old Honda, don't have motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV's, expensive watches, a second car, club memberships etc. It's where I choose to spend my money. Who cares!
