I don't see what the issue is here. If the guy can afford it, who cares what he spends his money on? If he is in debt or doesn't make enough money to support his lifestyle, then that is one thing.

I am traveling every weekend in May (Atlanta to see college buddies, backpacking in NC, Wine Tasting in Napa, and Memorial Day lake house in Tennessee). I'm also spending thousands of dollars on all of this, but I still save over 20% of my paycheck and have the money to do so.

Don't see what the issue is with spending money on things you care about and enjoy as long as you have a financial system in place to afford it.

I get the sense that it wasn't so much the money, but rather a semi-vulgar way of talking about spending money that seems to have offended the OP. Some were raised that discussing money/salary/how much things cost are not topics for polite conversation.

Alas, I am beginning to despair that no one teaches kids about making polite conversation any more.

Because people who don't save for retirement will be bitching in forty years about why the government can't bail them out with my tax dollars.
