Yeah, I just enjoy the logic of:

"How dare you spend what at the end of the day is a trivial amount of money on something that your significant other appreciates and enjoys. You should be eating soylent green and living in a 400 square foot home!"

If I were struggling to get by, it would be a fair discussion. However the audience on HN I presume to be middle class, if not upper middle class it seems like an odd argument to make.

People on HN are uniquely able to focus on making more money instead of saving money. But due to limiting beliefs, many don't.
