If I were making that much money, would I satisfy more wants in my life than I currently do? I'm sure I would. But I like to think I would not make extravagant, wasteful purchases.
Feh I hate to point but by you saying it's extravagent and wasteful you are making a judgement. If you said "i would not make the same purchases without qualifying" them as wasteful and extravagent.

THEN I would buy that you are not judging people. BUT you are judging and calling people bad.

If I had bought a $100k car because I won the lotto and had $100 million you'd just call my purchse wasteful and extravagent. Basically I "wasted" my money, which makes me a "bad" person and making the "Wrong" decision.

Look you're expressing an opinion fine, but seriously get over it. It's everyone's money to decide how to spend it.

What is everyone's problem about how others spend their damn money? It's money.

Sure it's not YOUR cup of tea, but stop judging.
