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.

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.

 

 

I dont care if the windows are broken or house is falling apart; it's that person's prerogative.  His money, his choice.  

 

Be well,

Any reviewer takes price into account. Most folks do the same before making significant purchases. I am grateful to those who question fluff and bring a skeptical mind to our hobby. Not envy or questioning one's choices. Just evaluation of a product's claims and price.
