[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you are pretty well off so don’t value $40 because you spend on whatever you want already. I suggest a donation.[/quote]

NP.  I'm 50 years old, and was joking with my DW the other day that I pretty much just buy anything I want if it's under $300 these days.  We're not rich, but doing well financially, and I realize I am lucky to be able to not sweat purchases like this.  I still like gift cards to restaurants, the ABC store and appreciate the gesture regardless of the amount.  But yeah, I sort of get what you are saying.[/quote]

This is me. DH and i both make a lot of money. I buy whatever I want when i want it. But at the same time, i still have my frugal roots and rarely take pleasure in spending $$$ on frivolous things.  So i never buy splurges for myself. I'm okay with it.  [/quote]

I know a person IRL whose personality reminds me a lot of Justin Timberlake. He's smart and successful but there's this intensity underneath that I am wary of. He's the kind of person who, if you even mildly disagree with him in a conversation about anything (even something pretty low key like consumer choices or food), we can become an a$$hole really fast. Super dismissive, or make fun of how your are talking, or start getting really condescending and explaining how you aren't smart enough to have a valid opinion (again, on something mild like what TV to buy or if that new restaurant is good).

I get the exact same vibe from JT. Very smily, friendly, obviously talented and charming, but there's this undercurrent that makes me think he does not take kindly to being contradicted, sharing spotlight, or even just not being deferred to all the time.[/quote]
