Seriously, OP. This is a jokey piece. And the thing is that people will either think it's cheap or they will know exactly what it is and it's a little embarrassing for people to know you spent that kind of money on a fad, big name piece of jewelry.[/quote]
A friend of mine just bought a new car and knowing how ostentatious it is, I have lost all respect for him. Get something nice that people wont' automatically know how much it's worth.[/quote]

Wow. You just be a really bad friend.

Why should anyone buy anything based on how other people would perceive them? That is horrible advice.

Buy what you love! If you can afford it of course[/quote]
Really? Because this friend has a financial stranglehold on his family yet goes out and buys a six figure car. So go ahead and tell me that I have no right to judge him. He clearly bought this car based on how other people would perceive him. And whether or not you want to believe it, most people do many things in life based on how other people perceive them. It's called being human and living in a society. [/quote]

Way to leave out the details in the first post and then get self righteous when someone perceives you as being judgmental because a friend bought an expensive car.

Sure, people should spend within their means.

I have no interest in doing what most people do. I credit that with being able to live like most people can't. YMMV[/quote]
