I get your point of view. I strive hard to maintain a balance because sometimes we don't need to much to be happy except the basics, wanting too much is why people spend a lot on things that they might not need. While I believe luxury is okay, sometimes seeking luxury at all cost is often foolhardy. Like you said, even the richest people would not need more then a toilet, except it's all these huge spenders who spend for bragging rights alone.
