Recently, I have had more money than I have ever had in my life. It is not a lot of money, but it seems relatively much because I have very few needs and thus always seem to have more than enough to meet those needs. What I have noticed is that with this increase in means, I have also increased my taste. So in the past when I would be grateful for a black-and-white TV, today I want a HDTV. In the past I used to be tolerant, though uncomfortable, with taking the bus for durations as long as 2 hours sometimes. Nowadays I am talking about buying a car or taking a cab for over 10 times the price of a cab. In all these instances of better taste, whenever I spend, I tend to feel guilty because I feel like I am doing something wrong by paying for comfort. Does any one else feel this way? How do I get out of thinking like this? Or am really overspending and is an increased taste a bad thing? How much should I pay to choose comfort over just being "okay?"
