When you can go food shopping and get whatever you desire without considering the cost, you are wealthy.
That is true. I think that people of means easily forget or misunderstand what it's like when commodities significantly impact your financial situation. Knowing that filling up the tank is going to influence what you eat is a weight. Fortunately my experiences with this kind of living has always been transient. However, I will not forget it.
When you can buy whatever kind of beer you want!
I still have trouble justifying the purchase of Chimay Blue (love it, but it's about 17 NZD for the big bottle, here). I need just a bit more wealth - but don't we all?
That is a damn fine beer. For me it is Hitachino Nest White Ale -$13.00 a bottle. Bit steep but damn tasty
Sounds good - who'd'a'thunk it, a Belgian Wit style, brewed in Japan? The classic original, Hoegaarden White, is one of my favourites.
