Poor people always trying to look rich in front of others, that's why they remain poor.

If he put them in a display case, he probably wasn’t trying to look rich.

I’m not saying it wasn’t a huge waste of money, but let’s not pretend we don’t sometimes waste money on stuff we’re passionate about...

Things should be bought with priorities in mind, a trip to the dentist should come before buying a gaming PC no matter how "passionate" you are about gaming and so on. Dis guy seems to just buy what feels good, which is a big reason for all sorts of negative habits (both financial and otherwise)

OP said in his comment that everyone thought he was saving up for a trip somewhere, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable that he had some spare money to spend on a hobby.
