> We stop to think for a long while to debate whether to spend 50 or 75 bucks on a piece of clothing, while we can't perceive the difference between spending 50,000 or 50,025 thousand on a car. The difference would have to be 50,000 to 75,000 thousand for us to perceive it equally. A bit off-topic, but I've read about this irrational thought pattern before, and it strikes me that it's not that irrational. In general, one buys a car far less frequently than one buys a piece of clothing, so saving 25 bucks every time one buys a piece of clothing is going to add up to a lot more than saving 25 bucks every time one buys a car. The expense of a purchase correlates with how rare that type of purchase is, so it seems sensible to me.
