Im guessing I'm the materialist? I don't see how so, but i would love to hear you elaborate. Genuinely curious.
I don't give a about objects (to an extent...i have amassed stuff such as records i really do not need as well.)
I am all about money though. Not for flashy things, but for the future. I am responsible for a little bastard after all.
My wife is a materialistic hoarder...it drives me crazy. She won't ditch the things she doesn't use or need. I suppose it comes from being new money, and growing upin a place where luxury is a recent development.
Go on. I will shine him. |

| Perhaps "materialist" is the wrong word but you're certainly a ring-leader for the COR's snobby competitiveness over small luxuries. Case in point: OrangestO is ragging on Jenny shopping at Ikea for spending money on material items, you're ragging on her for buying cheap . |

| Rann and Clooney are the kings of material snobbism here. I don't think anyone else holds a candle to them. |

That kind of behavior has always existed here. No matter the subject someone will inevitably feel the need to point out that they or their tastes are better than yours.
Orange is an annoying unsuccessful Barton Fink. |

I'm not ragging at Jenny at all. I really dislike Ikea. (save some the dirty food stuff they sell i can't find anywhere else here, as well as cheap kitchware you can toss after 6 months and not feel guilty)
Living where I am, I can guarantee I buy more cheap than anyone here.
My life is far from luxurious, but splurging on certain luxuries make life bearable.
Food is probably the thing i throw away most now. Luxury or not, nigga gotta eat.
A beej is only 20 bucks here. |

I think pragmatism really applies to spending money on stuff.
I spend "good" money on stuff I use for work that improves the experience, and I also spend money on stuff I use every day like my e-cig and stuff (I buy a high quality liquid because it doesn't destroy my coils or clog up my tank).
I also invested in a decent TV last year because for the first time in my life I find myself enjoying a lot of movies and tv shows where previously I only watched like 2 shows, and rarely watched movies.
I spend a lot on food, reluctantly, but I think that's because I'm learning to cook so I can eat healthier and avoid all the salt that comes in pre-made stuff. Also food here is at an outrageous price right now thanks to the Canadian dollar only being worth 70 cents on the American.
Some stuff I go completely cheap mode on though and probably shouldn't. I have a cheap oven, the tiest in' toaster in the world and my furniture in' blows, but since I'm not dating right now I don't really care about impressing anyone with my bachelor pad.
Next big purchase is glasses though, because I have to throw my reading glasses the out as they were cheap when I bought them and have had them way too long and after about 2 hours of wearing them my vision feels like I drank 80 beers. |

| You'd suck your own dick if you could reach. And then you'd probably label that as performance art. |

| I seriously hope you aren't daring to liken yourself to Bowie. :haha: |
