Hey Rod, I wanna say that I'm glad you posted something in a thread about how you've worked for your cash and can spend it however you see fit. I didn't want to rock the boat too much, yeah, I don't wanna hear people whine about how they can't get things out of their monetary reach.
Hey, thanks for the props on that mate. I knew that posting it meant I was putting myself out on a limb a little and I'd probably change a few peoples perception of me, but I'd hit a breaking point of sorts. I just don't think anyone has the right to question anothers spending habits, when they dont know a damn thing about them or how hard they work to get that money.

I am gonna whinge that i can't afford stuff but i aren't gonna Bazinga!Bazinga!Bazinga!Bazinga!Bazinga! about what people spend if they can afford it.
Great if someone wants to pay $3K for an AH sketch but i aren't gonna do that.

Rod and everyone else that has the money to get what they want I say more power to you.
I just wish i was in a similar position but that is their fault that i can't buy what i want to

It's such a tricky one isn't it! I've been debating whether to go two "lesser" quality pieces or one higher one....

You looking forward to the trip mate? Silly question I know....I can't wait! Have you been to Perth before? This will be my first time

$400 is indeed a lot of money! Sometimes I can't believe that some forum members here spend so much on pieces so frequently (you probably can't tell by my tone, but I'm really not having a go at them).
When did I, the dentist, become the poor one?!?

the answer - us Asians are tight.
