What you spend, in the scheme of things, is largely irrelevant. The big earning big ego's are very much needed because they push the rest of us. Your gutter sucker sounds really good ftp even if I don't really grasp it, but I won't give you any browny points for cheapness, only if it does a good job.
We've all got ego's and all like to bragg.Some bragg about how much money they've saved, others about finding time to talk to old ladies, or picking the kids up from school.
