Was just having this discussion with a friend.
I'm smoking my pipe, and love doing so. He asked why I was lightning my pipe with matches, and not a lighter. I told him that I have been saving up for a pipe lighter, which I will be purchasing next month.
Friend "Why do you have to save up for a $2 lighter? o_0"
I told him how I have been eyeing a particular one which is around $250.
He called me crazy and said that I was "obsessed".
Now, I understand where he is coming from. But I have a principle of 'No Compromise'. Best way to explain it is that; I will always go for quality. Will wait patiently until I can afford it, instead of buying something cheaper.
I hope this posts does not make me seem like someone who has a lot of ego.
So gaf, where do you draw the line? Do you even have one?
I have a friend who collects anime figures worth hundreds of dollars. Another friend has a ridiculous collection of expensive knives. None of us are rich in any way...just enjoy doing these things and collecting them.
Just thought I'd share this and see what you guys think.
