For the same reason people buy $5 lattes. People are people. That said, I question a life so stoic it has absolutely no frivolousness. Sounds a little boring.

- stephencanon 14y agoIn particular, money has no intrinsic value. It only has value when you spend it. Saving money just to prove that you can is silly.
- marekmroz 14y agoOn the flip side, making more and more money just to spend it on useless crap that gives instant but short-lasting gratification is also silly. The way I see it, it's a scale, and hitting a balance, not striving for either of the extremes, should be a goal worth pursuing.
