that's cool. I just want to point out the hypocrisy people harbor toward how money is spent.
according to what I think your saying is
travel= good use of money
rolex watch= bad use of money and irresponsible to society.
How is that so?
My sneakers allow me to keep my mobility without a well made pair of shoes/sneakers I do further joint damage. If I had said I was taking a fabulous cruise, in general the response would have been "oohs and aahs" no one would have even mention soup kitchens. take that same cash and say you are buying some thing and you're told about all the suffering in the nation.
if thousands are spent traveling everyone is cool with that, if thousands are spent on speed boats. we should be doing more to help the poor?
iMO the reason I saved and lbmm was to have options and choices. I wanted to spend a month in Paris I wanted to b e able to, If I wanted to take that same money and buy enough legos to replicate all of paris in my livingroom, I wanted to be able to do that also.
maybe that's the real reason to hide one's wealth
