I believe what kcowan said is true, once one's wealth has reached a certain level. Of course, if one has to choose whether to run the AC to a bit lower temperature, or to save the money to make his car payment, one is not yet at that level. But once one's basic necessities have been met, the rewards from money reach the level of diminishing returns quickly. At least it would be for the LBYM type in this forum.
A couple of years ago, there was a book discussing how too many choices for the consumer bewilder him. Basically, he could never be sure that he would make the right choice to buy the optimal product. And that makes his purchasing activity less than a happy one.
I believe in that. So, I do not go shopping unless it is absolutely necessary. And all those iSomethings do not excite me at all. What am I missing?
