I feel like a F. Scott Fitzgerald character

Is it a different world because they talk about they spend money on, and it’s not what you spend money on?

I buy secondhand Kate Spade

You buy LV once every few years.

They buy Coach brand new, a couple at a time, every season.

?

Something like that.

Because it is tacky. Wealth is not something I admire in life. What you do with your life, what you bring to the world, that’s what I admire. And regarding wealthy “lifestyle” : people who spend money on stuff, wasteful shiny objects, I simply despise

Sounds like you don’t read many books at all. There are several FSF books about the wealthy
