[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just spent nearly 6 figures on an instrument with a great sound for my teen so they can play with more joy, and stand out in competitions and auditions.

My clothes and bags are not haute couture but I’m extremely picky about what I buy.

Actually I’m very picky about most purchases, but since my criteria are not related to acquiring the most famous brands, perhaps you would not consider me materialistic?

What is materialistic? Can you be materialistic and frugal? I don’t buy a lot, but I’m ready to spend a ton on things that matter to my family.

Wouldn't practice matter more for your teen than a six figure instrument? Queen guitarist Brian May makes better music on a cheap guitar that I could ever make on an expensive one. Yo Yo Ma is going to sound better on a mass produced cello than a high school student on an expensive one.

As a masters swimmer, I used to train with triathletes. It used to amuse me how much they would spend on equipment for cycling to try and go faster, and how frustrated they were that all they could do to get faster at swimming was train.[/quote]
