Yes, people are free to spend their money however they want, but I'm free to critique how they do so
For the most part I think people spend too much of their money on products instead of experiences.
When you are on your death bed are you really going to say "Damn I regret buying an Acura instead of that Maserati I was thinking about"........
Odds are you're more likely to say "Damn I regret not travelling the world" or "Damn I regret never learning how to fly" or "Damn I regret never trying harder at guitar and maybe performing some gigs" or "Damn I wish I had spent more time with these people"
