There is nothing wrong with buying designer clothes and other expensive things, either because you love it or to show off. In most cases people worked hard for that money, so they have lot of reasons to be proud of it. But if people don't show their wealth in any way or perhaps don't have much money at some point, I always find it a bit hard to understand a certain narrowmindedness that occurs in some people. Resulting also in certain behaviour and comments. Hardly anybody knows what the other person is really spending their money on or how much one really owns, it is always a perception :). It depends on what one spends their money. For myself: I have seen beautiful parts of the world and learnt a ton about different cultures and gained experience. I have practiced a lot of different sports, to keep my mind creative and my body always fit and the mind sharp. Spending on things that increase my health, has always been worth it. Apart from my studies, I always make sure to keep increasing my knowledge also in other ways and meet the most interesting people world wide in that way. And a lot of money doesn't stay in own pocket, it reached many pockets who need it more. And more things actually. And I don't speak only for myself, absolutely not! Lot of people do this, it is only not visible to all :). Do I say now I have a lot of money or I don't have? No. Do I own a lot of money, or does my family? Only I know at the moment :D. Does it matter? And then a logic question for me is: what is then a definition of being rich? I leave that answer open. As for every outside story, there is also an inside one ;). I try to keep that in mind.
