I would never spend €60,000 more than I would have to on anything, by the way! I'm a practical person, not a flashy person. Besides, I don't have €60,000.
i agree, some do that. for example a small man might compensate for his perceived lack of height by becoming arrogant and that i have observed. But some men just have money to spend, some like collecting cars and some know that it makes them more desirable, even though they do not have any reason to be inferior and for some men it is almost etiquette to drive a certain car (chartered accountants, lawyers etc not saying all of them drive lexi) not all rich men have inferiority complexes or have physical handicaps
