I am not very impressed by the expensive stuff. When a wine seller tells me they have a bottle of wine they are selling for $10k, all it tells me is that someone has written a price tag. I might sell my toenail for $10k, but that would not impress anyone, even if it's not possible to get it cheaper.
Luxury spending does not even work these days. You can rent things, you can borrow money to spend on something you can't afford, just to impressive.
What is impressive are great things for good price. Outstanding quality delivered despite limited resources. It's much harder to evaluate though.
When someone shows me expensive watches, I'm gonna ask if they can at least sign nostr events on it. Or if it just shows time like my phone.
