[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 138741, member: 1296"]Owning even slightly valuable items is considered snobbish and people are constantly shocked at "how much you've spent on THAT". What they always fail to realize is how much more responsible and eco-friendly high-quality, long-lasting and / or pre-owned items are compared to 99% of the crap stores sell today. People spend fortunes on technology, going out and cheap garbage that falls apart just in time for them to buy more of it, and no one says anything because apparently it's so cool to buy mass-produced merchandise. I've made it my thing to not tell people what my things cost, because once they hear a price, it's all they can think of and all the logic and reason goes out the window. I don't know if this mentality is only a thing in my country but either way it's annoying.[/QUOTE]
