[QUOTE="shabazz, post: 9773557, member: 39144"]A lot of needy people in the community could have benefited from the money used to buy that Luxury car but thats purely up to him.
What bothers me is that some millionaires in sports distance themselves from CEO's and executives of companies and accuse them of greed as if their own millions don't put them in the same socioeconomic class. They both live in mansions in gated communities and have luxury cars. Double standards[/QUOTE]
So? Do you live as absolutely as cheaply as possible, never buy anything new, never buy anything you don't absolutely need? If not, then I could say the same thing about you, the "you could buy 100 homeless people a meal if you didn't buy that Apple watch, or pay for cable tv, or buy real diamonds for your wife instead of cubic zirconia"
It's all a matter of degree, except for maybe someone like Mother Theresa, we all spend money on things that could benefit "needy" people. Where would we draw the line, and who'd decide what that line should be?
I get your post, but it's a non-definable statement....
