Thank you, Mr Salomon.

Did not know that people can be viewed this way - a new prepective, a Plus for me.

A wise reminder in life...
Thank you for such a very insightful discussion, as always.

Interesting, but I read about the same thing in college, 55 years ago. It was called, "Pecuniary Canons of Taste" by one Thorstein Veblen. Good to be reminded of it, though.
