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

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.

Neither bun nor dog. 

I can care less what others spend, although on the other hand I do think that some of the things people fancy are way way too expensive for the very minor increase (if any) In sound quality. If someone thinks that gaining maybe 1 or 2 percent is worth spending thousands more than a product that is more affordable, then go right ahead. Me, I look for the products that provide the best bang for the buck. Products I do not have to get a 2nd mortgage to afford. 

It is disposable income, dispose of it as you wish. People should realize the money did not just drop in the person's laps it was earned. When you think of it art, car, house, collectors, etc  $400,000 on speakers is chump change. More power to you if you got it to spend.

I admit occasionally thinking if  I had that kind of scratch I'd have more than an audio itch.  As the saying goes you can't take it with you. Just sell me one of the storage models you haven't turned on in a decade at a fraction of their price.
