I'd be taking a close look at the wording, just to ensure it is a pair ;)

If someone want's to spend their money on that and they can afford it I don't see how it makes them a fool?

Why buy a 40K car when you can buy a 20k car ?
Why buy a 3k watch when you can buy a £10 watch?

The car example is fairly reasonable, better would be to buy a £1,000,000 car or more, especially those ones you don't get to drive.

If i had the money to purchase a £1m pound car I'd be doing it!!


It's all just relative. Doesn't make anyone a fool at all.

A £1,000,000 car would look like a £1,000,000 car, something people would take notice of

A white tee shirt would look like . . a white tee shirt :D

The assumption there being that people only buy expensive things for other people too notice

Carth 25-01-2019 15:10

Re: Fools and their money...
 
Nope, simply the fact that more people would take a second look at a 'super car' than a white tee shirt, and recognise class and style over stretch cotton

can you tell the difference between a Rolls Royce and a Lada Riva?

can you tell the difference between a white tee shirt and a white tee shirt?

Different people want different things. If I had £350 to spend on a T-Shirt, I can think of a whole list of things I would be more interested in spending it on, but the kind of people who wear expensive clothes like that often like others to know they are wearing expensive clothes.

Also, for a lot of people, the cost is a major factor. They like the thought of owning the £350 T shirt, and the £1,000 Prada handbag and the £700 Jimmy Choos. I'm just as happy wearing Primark and TKMaxx as I would be wearing designer clothes, but each to their own. Given the £2050 for the T shirt, handbag and shoes above, I'd far rather buy a good gaming PC, but not everyone would.

At it's most basic, the car; a metal body with seats, engine and wheels designed for the transportation of people and or goods from one place to another

At it's most basic, the white t shirt, a garment made from cotton or poly cotton mix with holes for arms, head and torso, designed to be worn on the human body.


Look at the details however and it's an entirely different story.

A plain white T-Shirt is still a plain white T-shirt though, they pretty much look the same unlike 2 cars of hugely different values.

Thats true, which is why i said earlier regarding about the assumption of people showing off wealth.

I collect and wear watches, I've got a few ranging from very cheap to very expensive. Whichever one I'm wearing it's because I like it and I appreciate it, not because I want everyone to see it.


Whilst some people may want to flaunt their purchases, just as many buy it because it's what they like and nor do they give a second thought to what anyone else thinks.

In the grand scheme of things what does it matter? If someone's got that amount of money to buy a white t shirt then they are not the type of people who are going to be shopping in Primark. And even if they did, said person might not smoke or drink. Add up how much money a year a smoker and drinker get through over a year.

If you think the T-Shirt is expensive, look up the Diamond Crypto phone - just over£1 million each.
