[quote=Anonymous]I suppose there must be some small number of people who both have abundant money to spend and don't care about value vs. cost, but I think most people apply these calculations.

For example, we just rebuilt our second home for $1 million. I downgraded most of the builder's suggestions. This $1500 bathroom vanity? No, I found one for $800. This $8k appliance package? No, I put one together for $4k. So that's probably why it wasn't a $1.1m rebuild. I care about things lasting; e.g. I got a well-rated Bosch dishwasher, but not a top model.

I get most of my clothes at Ann Taylor and Prana, and Target for athleisure. I care about quality, so I'll use a Tumi bag, but I don't care about branding so I'll never have a LV etc. I get really sick when I fly and I need to rest when we get there, so I'll book first class and a nice hotel suite.

I think these cost vs. value calculations are pretty normal and it's fine if people care about things that I don't, and vice versa.
