There are some things I spend on where I want the best quality no matter the price, within reason (unless it’s some weird outlier insane price). For example if I’m buying a computer chair that I know will impact my health, price is not as big of a concern vs what it will do to my posture.

That’s a good point. What you’re spending money on matters.

I don’t think I’ve ever recovered from seeing a plain white baby onesie in Fred Segal back in 2004 for multiple hundreds of dollars. I don’t remember exactly because it’s been years but it was either $300 or $600. I think I had an entire existential crisis in the store. Seriously questioning if there were people in the world who thought that was a fair price. It seemed no different than the onesies you could buy in a pack at Target. I remember asking if by buying the onesie you were sponsoring a child in another country. Is it priced correctly? Is there something in the making that makes it so costly? Has anyone ever actually bought one?

For some people where money is easy to get more of on autopilot, material costs are almost irrelevant. Price becomes sort of detached from the item and they don’t think about it at all.

Speaking from a time where I was around such wealthy people who didn’t even look at price tags. They definitely exist.

I’ve also seen wealthy people who are aware of prices. I’ve seen broke people who don’t look at price tags. Wealthier people who don’t look at price tags just have a longer runway before they run out of money.
