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

Keeping ego out of things is hard.

I have a very healthy ego, but years of competition have taught me to respect my competitors and enjoy the process of competition.

Well as you can see, you aren't the only one annoyed by this type of behavior (I'm sure you knew that). I attribute it to simple (And common) envy and jealousy. I have zero concern or issue with how another adult decides to spend "their" money. It's absolutely no one else's business. This envious attitude seems more prevalent the last few years on this site.

A young guy told me I had it easy with no debt and a fancy stereo. He was 25 years younger. I told him I'd give it all back to be his age again and that 25 years ago, I too had none of what I have now. It's all perspective and relative. 

I've said this a few times lately but I'll say it again.  Far too many contributors on this site fail to accept their comments, suggestions, advice......  only amount to their opinion.  And as such are generally no more or less valid that any other opinion proffered.  Want to tell me that one speaker cable is better than another?  Have at it.  It's just your opinion.  IMHO 🤣

don't think they really care at all...
