At the end of the day we all know people who spend money on stupid shit that they probably shouldn't be spending it on.  I can think these people are fucking idiots, but I mostly dgaf, because it is not my money and they can do what they want with it.

I start to GAF if/when these same people believe it is up to society to help subsidize their way of living.

Some of the comments on here are just plain assinine...just the mere fact we're on this 50 member site talking about this tells me none of us are in a position to judge ANYONE on what, where, and how to spend their money. Period.

Good point, applies within Ohio as well. We're planning to sell our Columbus home and buy one near where I grew up in West-central Ohio. The prices for comparable homes are about a third of the price. S&L's $8K ring is probably like a $5-6K hit in Ohio considering the cost of living.
