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

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.

I wasn’t even here, come to think of it.
I was somewhere else, when I was here, I’m sure of it..

Forget the regards, forget everything.. :-)

POOF!

I’m a see through BOT.. No I'm a naked Bot in the Back yard, With a HAT and cowboy boots.

a somewhat serious answer...

i don’t think those discussions are about other people spending their money

this is an enthusiast board, covering music and all things/equipment used to reproduce the music

as a shared passion, we who come here like to discuss and share our experiences and thoughts -- on what is good and bad, what is worthwhile and not worthwhile, what delivers value for the cost, and what doesn’t... so its not about other people spending money per se, that aspect is tangential... it is about an area of shared enthusiasm that we care about, want to be knowledgeable in, and in that world, in that pursuit, what is worth spending our money on to enhance our enjoyment
