I guess that makes sense?

Here is my argument for that golf cart...which by the way we don't have. We have a nice used one that cost far less.

But...if a person has worked hard all of their lives and saved and sacrificed and didn't take money from others and that is what they want...then good for them.

I think that is how many of the villagers I see driving a fancy golf cart payed for it. It is the same thing for jewelry, that I don't have...and the same for bigger houses. Most of those folks went without something, and lived well inside their incomes and worked far more than eight hours a day to be able to have some nice stuff now.

There is no shame to have money if you earned it.

One of the ways people would have money for that golf cart is that they didn't fling out all that money for their kids sneakers.
