Personally I don't envy an "high-end" car (RR, McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, etc.), or a big mansion which needs a horde of people to run.
I personally developed a feeling for things which are at the edge of "diminishing returns" curve. I get the things which are high-end enough, but not in the "pay 3x more to get 1% more" region.
- scottyah 6mo agoI agree, but will say that having a well-built house in a great area is extremely expensive, especially if you happen to like walkable cities along the southern California coast.
- bayindirh 6mo agoA well built house doesn't have to be big, needs multiple staff on payroll, or come with a pool. Buying high quality things is a thing, but buying things just because they are high end and flashy is something else. If I failed to convey what I tried to say in my first comment, let me give another examples. Personally, I'll pay pretty penny for a bass guitar, if its build quality and features is worth it, not because of hype or it's a signature model of someone else's. I'll buy a high end computer or a car with all (meaningful) options installed, not because I want to show off but I'll need the features or processing power. I buy high end audio gear (for listening or recording), not because to brag about it but to use it. And when I buy these things, I use them until they run out of steam, not until they're out of fashion.
