I actually know people, including some family members, who buy things at very high prices from very expensive retailers, they don't bargain, they don't shop around and don't want to spend time to do it themselves, never shop at Target or Wal-mart or Costco. They walk in, like what they see and buy it as is on the spot. Often the average folks will think or call them STUPID or have more money than brain, etc... But the truth is, at least among the ones I know, they are self-made men and women, smart professionals (not sports stars or drug dealers), the more they spent the more they'll make, they simply make money faster than they can spend it. Just think, if you make $1 million, $2M or $5 millions dollars a year, what does it matter saving $10K or $20K or not.

I am not like that at all, I used to laugh at those who pay full prices without checking around, took me years to realized they are not stupid, just everyone do things differently.
