[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the never camp. That much money on a car is obscene. There are people who are hungry, homeless, dying because they don't have access to healthcare, etc etc. Indulge something far less expensive, and donate the extra to someone who really needs it, or an organization helping those in need.  It's about values.  [/quote]

But, but they value the car!! Seriously, if someone is making that much to afford a $200k car I think they can also still afford to give to causes they believe in. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive.[/quote]

Once the money is spent on a car, it can't go anywhere else. So yes, for that $200k it is literally mutually exclusive

No matter how much they give to charity, they could give more if they didn't buy the tacky car[/quote]

Legit question- do you donate all of your excess funds to charity?[/quote]

Different poster - just adding to the discussion.

I find it incredibly hypocritical to criticize others for the level of charitable contributions. First, charity is a result of compassion and empathy, which are emotional states that are different from person to person. Everyone has the freedom to decide what level of charity they wish to engage in. Everyone's moral compass is different and is calibrated based on the context of their individual circumstances. Charity is therefore a subjective act and it is irrational to criticize others for their subjective preferences. Of course you can endeavor to change their preference by appealing to them, by giving them additional information, through dialog and discussions, and etc.[/quote]
