Goes back a way I suppose. King Solomon's downfall began when he built the Temple to the Lord .... last. It took 7 years. His Palace took 12 years (?), started before the Temple. Screwed-up priorities.

St. Francis of Asisi (sp?) and Bl. Mother Teresa, both who vowed exceptional poverty for their respective Orders, required nothing but the best, regardless of cost, for the altars in their churches/monasteries, etc.
