Point well made...it's really about money management skills more than how one chooses to use his money. More money gives one more choices. The way I see it, spending on "bling", scrambling to live in the "right" neighborhood, belong to the "right" clubs, that whole "image" scene is actually an example of limiting one's choices in life.
