It's none of anyone's business how we each spend our money.  People and money are some of the most interesting and yet insane situations life seems to bring.  I've been a saver and investor my entire adult life.  Yet, when a person gets the sense that I'm comfortable it's amazing how the dynamic of the relationship changes.  Not always, but enough to notice.  I learned early in life to keep my money spending habits to myself.  My first job was at a grocery store.  I made 4.10/hour.  One of the staff that was there longer than I causually asked me my hourly wage and without thinking I said 4.10/hr.  That person and her group of friends stopped talking to me - flat.  Didn't know why.  Later, I found out it was because they made 4/hr.  I was excluded from the group over 10 cents an hr.  People can be insane when it comes to money.
