    Question Do you value practicality or living lavishly (luxuriously)

    Hypothetical question: If we were to disregard your own social standing overall where you have more than enough money to last for the rest of your life; what would you say you have more of a predisposition towards more?

    Practicality in the sense that you would invest your resources in something that carries its own long term benefits in the grand scheme of things or....

    Lavishly in the sense that your resources that you invested in satisfies momentary pleasures that has no negative side effects whatsoever since you have more than enough to fall back on.

    What would you say is more appealing to you?

    Practicality, although I do see some merit in living in the moment and all that. Life is short, but it's not an excuse to make foolish decisions. So I think, I mean I would wear the exact thing every day if people didn't look at me like I was some kind of autist or something. The only thing I want to have variety in my life is food.

    Practically of course. Lavish stuff is very overrated.

    I have lived in both ways at times.

    Most accurately said I live practically most of the time,and sometimes,maybe once a month I blow off,go to a 5 star hotel,saunas,spa,maybe even a brothel with those elite hookers that look like models.

    Both, since I buy things that have no practicality whatsoever but I still buy them because pleasure , like perfumes, I know I can't use the ones I have for my lifetime, still I cant resist buying a new one that I like. For most things I tend to practical.

    I must say, I had a pretty fulfilled childhood, albeit only in terms of materialistic needs. In that position you either become a spoiled brat or lose all desire for novelty items and luxuries. I fall into the latter category thankfully. My living quarters are as minimalist as it gets, my wardrobe is pretty modest and I haven't had any vacations in almost a decade now, and that's certainly not because I am cheap.
