Many who spend 10K+ on a stove rarely cook all that much but boil water (maybe not even that, because we install a instant hot water system for them so boiling water is a thing of the past). They all claim they do. I like to think they they do, but who knows and who cares.

I have cooked 5 course meals for 30 people with a single oven and 4 burners..
I now have an old kitchen as my house was formerly a rental, it's 3 meter by 2 and a half, i have about 80 x 70cm free working space (microwave, cookers, sink take up the rest). Yet i've hosted for 15 + people in that tiny kitchen.. It's main drawback is poor layout.
When i build my new kitchen, i'll go only marginally bigger then what i have now.
I will add maybe 1 meter of kitchen top, but i will optimize things for usability.
I cannot see me spending more then 6 K for the kitchen top + the oven, built in MW, sink, cookers.. It's crazy how much money women spend on kitchens, even more so if you see how rarely and poorly some of them cook.
Then i know others that can cook , but they have spent 25K on a kitchen when they can afford 10 K... Same for bathrooms.. it's crazy to see the prices on that too. It's snobism , so they can show the girl friends, look at what i got.
And they all compete with eachother for it..
