I can’t see spending $42,000 for a bling phone— even if I had so much money that I didn’t know what to do with it.

OK, you are cured. . . amazing. Fast cure. GRIN! I wouldn't pay that much for a phone you'll be upgrading in two years anyhow! But this is called Ostentations consumption for those who can afford it. As I mentioned in the PING, it's for those who don't mind dropping a couple hundred thou on a car or tens of millions on a yacht. . . not us poor peons who work for a living.

If you had so much money you didn't know what to do with it, it becomes pocket change, and dropping that much is nothing. My girlfriend has a friend who used to be so rich (before her husband got cancer without insurance and they spent it all on medical bills before he died) that she thought nothing of going shopping and dropping $20 grand in an afternoon . . . See a car she liked? Pay for with a credit card, and drive it off the lot. That's the kind of person this is aimed at. Impulse rich.

I’m sure that Kim Kardashian and her fella will have one in every metal and probably even buy one for their kid.
