When your income off investments is 100k a month, the threshold for making something 'worth' 6k is very low. So they might have the exact same mindset you have, just a different frame of reference. I'm not wealthy but I'm better off than I was 10 years ago - I certainly spend on things I'd find laughable to spend on back then. Yet my financial thinking hasn't changed, just the marginal utility. I don't know how old you are, but if you're in your 20's and in the same field most of us here are, I suspect you will go through the same process.
