No. Even those who are doing well financially don't have unlimited funds. People spend on the things that matter to them.
I know people who are well-off living in large homes, taking fancy vacations, but driving around in 20-yr old beat up cars. I know a woman who spends like mad on her wardrobe and car because her image for business is important to her but she lives in a dumpy apartment. And I know multi-millionaires who brown bag their lunch for work every single day because ordering lunch is wasteful.

Right. I much prefer to spend on experiences/trips than brand name clothes. I'd brown bag my lunch for a year to save for a fabulous trip. I have a friend who much prefers to buy lunch/fancy coffee drink a few times a week. That's her luxury.

Sure. Just because you buy something expensive occasionally doesn’t mean you can’t try to save money the rest of the time. It accumulates.
As for baby clothes, I’ve had to throw too many away after they got those awful yellow stains. So now I just give them away right after I’m done with them.


I get those stains out. Spray with stain remover and dry in direct sunlight.

I think wealthy people who spend on absolutely everything might not stay wealthy for as long.

It's totally normal to choose your priorities, and future generations will thank you for it. Who cares what the neighbors think?
