Here are some stats for "The Millionaire Next Door" (Great Book by the way)

The average Millionaire has never spent more than:

$399 for a suit
$140 for a pair of shoes
$235 for a wrist watch
$29,000 for a car

and the average millionair lives in a home worth $320,000 (likely to be much higher now - as the book is 6 years old - and real estate values have gone up a lot.
hehe, my mom read that book.

i think it's truly sad to spend beyond your means. i also think it's extremely stupid.
