Inability to Spend $$$$ on Hamilton Tickets

[Anonymous]

Are there others who would really like to see Hamilton, but just can't stomach the exorbitant ticket prices? I'm really torn, but don't think I can splurge on this. Spouse feels the same way. Maybe being thrifty is why we have a net worth over $10 million now.

I was with you until this.

You don't deserve Hamilton.

Yes of course, but we aren't rich like you are.

I think you should spend your evenings counting your money, not on silly things like musicals.

If you have $10 million and feel you you're "unable" to spend $200 per ticket, I don't sympathize with you because you're delusional. Unless you're going to leave all your wealth to charity when you're dead, in which case, I applaud you.

We have plenty of money too but I wouldn’t spend that much either, OP. I just don’t enjoy musical theater or rap, even if it is about the Founding Fathers. I like the accessibility and how the show has interested lots of kids in the history, but have no desire to pay a lot to see it in person.

I am going to resist the impulse to insult you, and ask a serious question - what is the point of amassing more than $10m in net worth if you can't use a tiny, tiny portion of it to enjoy yourself?

This is perfectly reasonable. You are not obligated to see Hamilton just because you can afford it. If it's not your cup of tea, no worries.

However, the OP said she "really would like to see Hamilton" but is too cheap to. And yes, OP, when you have a net worth of more that $10 million and don't do things you want to do and easily can afford, it isn't thrifty, it's cheap.

Yes, I do spend money on things I enjoy and would pay for my kids to go if they wanted. OP does sound ridiculously tight.

+1 So where are you spending your wealth OP such that you're unable to spend $ on Hamilton tickets? Because unless you're living like Mother Teresa, I assume you're just spending on other luxury goods that you for some reason see as acceptable (big house, fancy car, travel etc.)

OP, you sound like one of my family members who berates me for buying expensive farmer's market lettuce, but who regularly stays in $1000+/night hotel rooms. People have their own priorities for their disposable income. You do you.

ONCE, I got nosebleed seats for a Broadway play. I could barely see the stage (I'm nearsighted) and swore to myself I'd never do that again. When I saw Book of Mormon I spent over $200 on 3rd row center seats and had a GREAT time. I totally felt like it was money well spent.

But I LOVE the theatre. Like, it's my happy place. Like, I love it so much I cry. Like, I'm tearing up now just thinking about how passionate I am about it. Like, I sent the cast of BoM a thank you note, thanking them for entertaining me and making me so happy.

But if you're not me, it may not be worth the money to you, and that's okay. You might spend a lot of money on tickets to a baseball game, and I'm the type who would bring a book to a game because it's that boring to me.
