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

As I quoted early one well known test based forum recently totally destroyed the new Bluesound Node, a product that in its various guises is owned and enjoyed by many.  Interestingly the 'tester' never listened to the item merely based the findings on how it measured.  I would have thought that a product designed, produced, sold and used to provide music should be listened to before commenting on its "quality" or lack of?

If one would like to save money I'd like to help. If not thank for donating to the economy

Late at night, when the community is sleeping, I turn on my stereo, hidden in the basement.

1 . There are a lot of people here who want to sell their goods to you (under the guise of experienced audiophiles, they "sincerely" recommend buying this model or brand)

2. Pride (many people think of themselves as professionals and it is pleasant for them to feel others as fools) ...

3. Self-justification (many have spent money on their own and now trying to persuade you - they comfort themselves)

4 . generous smart people - sometimes they feel sorry for you and they help ... but you ignore their advice - since a lot of posts are written 1, 2, 3)))))

When I see someone poo-pooing another's purchase as outlandish

I think of the Aesops fables my mother once read to me.

The one called Sour Grapes seems most appropriate.
