Suck it up. Try living as a poor or middle class American who see their jobs and financial security being plunder by spoiled rich snobs.

even if i had the money to have all this stuff, i don't know how I would find the time to service it, even if I were managing others to do it for me. It's just not that important, and i wouldn't trust most of them to do it right.

the most toys win? no. the most enjoyment, the most contentment, the most relaxation, the most piece of mind wins. a life well-lived is not squandered on conspicuous consumption, making others rich, or making others miserable to make myself feel important.
