    Not having to consider price is a luxury a rich person can consider. A nice luxury but a luxury just the same. It is also just another form of consumption in the absence of clear utility on the other side.

      I’m far from rich, and have ~$40k left in student loans that I’ve been paying off for nearly a decade now, so trust me it’s not about not considering price. That completely misses the point I was making.

      Finances are one consideration, not the only consideration.
