    Yeah it’s true. All the products I see for sale are unappealing and make me think “Who asked for this?” And anything I would pay for doesn’t seem to exist because “Oh that’s too expensive to manufacture”. Feels bad dude.

      I ask people 'when was the last time you had something that was “the best”?"

      Unless it’s some obscure tech/hobbyist item, it’s been a while. First class airfare sin’t as good as a private jet, and front row concert tickets aren’t as good as a sky box.

        I had “the best” seats at a comedy show recently, but I had to pay some $250 each for the privilege.

          Watch “How To Marry A Millionaire” with Marilyn Monroe.

          A one point, Marilyn and her friends are looking at a two story duplex apartment on Park Avenue. “This place must cost $1,000.00 a month to rent!!”

          Later they are in a nightclub with a full orchestra, and chorus line, “My God! The cheapest thing on the menu is $5.00”
