looks cool, I must admit that. but that shit is useless.
Slightly incorrect. For wealthy people, who have far more money than they need, the cost of things becomes a very distant secondary consideration to whether or not they want or would enjoy having things. If it doesn't make ANY DIFFERENCE to you whether your faucet costs $50 or $250, then why WOULDN'T you get whichever one you prefer?
Hollywood teaches us that wealthy people are the villains, who would sink to any moral depth to get more money. The reality is, once you're making a few hundred grand a year or so, money stops being a very important factor in your life decisions. You never notice all the songs written about how money's not important are written and sung by people who already HAVE millions? They're not lying; they've reached the point in their lives where they can focus on things other than money.
Rich people don't obsess over money; poor people DO, because when you have very little money, you HAVE to think about where you spend every dollar.
"Money doesn't buy happiness" is only technically true. What it buys is the time freedom to go looking for real happiness, and all the better things in life, which you probably don't have if you're working two full-time jobs every day at minimum wage. In almost all cases though, that expression is something poor people say to (falsely) reassure themselves that wealthy people are actually as miserable as they are.
