No. It's interesting to hear your opinion. My brother and I grew up poor.


We've gotten to a point where I'd consider we're pretty affluent wherever you live in the country.

My in laws (mother, father, sisters and brothers) are all wildly successful, and have more money than I can think of.

However, they have a completely different view of things because they've always had it. They wouldn't care that it looked gaudy, or if they saved a few bucks. It would be protection against any long term loss of electric grid. And it's environmentally sound, which is definitely something that is important to people where they live. If you aren't "green", then the inevitable question is why? Do you know what's going on with the climate, etc?

It's just interesting how your point of view on wealth can be drastically changed based on your location or if you are nouveau riche, or any number of other attributes. I just find it interesting.

I also find it interesting when people think they are the only ones that have money in the world. I get a good kick out of that.....
