I get where you are going, but... $200k on a car is probably too much (once the novelty wears off) - you can get a nice luxury car with more performance than you can handle for $50k. As for housing, it depends on the location. Zuckerberg's $7M house is actually relatively modest. You can buy the same house in the midwest for probably under $500k. Even still, those things are relatively justifiable. You can't measure denim jeans worth by square footage or horse-power. I understand the difference between a $30 pair of jeans and a $200 pair (having been stupid enough to shell out that much myself), but beyond that I cannot really justify the cost.
