Excellent point.The same applies to cars, etc.A Chevy will do the same job for you as a BMW, and won’t empty your bank account to pay for such routine stuff as oil changes.Big ticket homes, cars, cuisine, and all manner of other stuff denotes prestige and appeals to “exquisite tastes”, but serves the same utilitarian purpose as the cheaper versions.A shack gives you shelter, a Big Mac sates your hunger, and a Chevy will get you to where you want to go.
