It’s substantial enough, I could surely think of something costing $850 that I’d rather have than half these, if we take the other half to be “essential.”
My point is that it’s super easy to end up with this kind of expense, or much more, without subscribing to “much.”

The GP may be able to afford all of these and spend $850 on the latest widget too, all without blinking.

But even if I look at their MLB subscription and go "I can come up with 10 things I'd rather spend that money on" that's a personal thing of what I like vs. what they like. Who knows what things the author isn't spending money on that you or I are spending money on that they'd think is wasteful of us? In general, I find it silly to look at anyone else's situation, and outside of extreme situations, try to take a "you're wrong and I know better than you about how your life would be better if you spent your money differently." position.
