Hey, I saw a set of bike wheels in a bike store the other day. $3000. Just the wheels.
Just strikes me as odd that people object so much more strongly to someone spending a lot on a bike than to someone spending similar money (or a great deal more) on a yacht, watch or car.
You can buy a perfectly functional and even pretty nice looking watch for $100. But you can easily spend more than this guy spent on his bike.
People spend hundreds of thousands or millions on a yacht.
A Tesla costs $100,000+. Many other neat cars cost a lot more than that. But they have little if any more functionality than my 10-year old Vibe.
And don’t even get me started on jewelry or vacation homes.
The guy bought a toy. Not a choice I’d make, but I fail to see why his choice of toys is any more stupid than those of anybody else.
