More than just what people can afford and what they want vs what is a big difference than what is appropriate. Imaginge having a 60 inch flat screen in a 10x10 room with full surround sound and stadium seaing? Yeh it's cool, and expensive as shit, but not appropriate for the size room , a 60" tv is best veiwed from 15 feet just so you dont have to turn your head side to side to look at the whole thing.

How many people need a $3000 alienware computer so they can sit down and search the internet? You can get away with a $500 computer and have the same internet experience

Same goes for some construction worker who earns $7/hr and has never ridden, financing an HD Road King probably isnt the smartest moves when it would cost 1/2 your salary.

There is nothing wrong with owning the top of the line stuff, just that for 99% of the folks out there who do , it isnt really appropriate nor does it fit into their lifestyle, thats why people in this country are in so much debt.

And Tigger you are a douche. I'm gonna kick you in your sin and steal your $0.02 too.
