You can relate the same philosophy to why automobiles cost so much these days. There are still people lining up at dealerships out there that don't even blink at an automobile costing $40k anymore, even in this economy. In reality, automobile prices have far outpaced wage increases in the past 20 years. Easy credit has enabled the manufacturers to keep raising the bar on what an automobile does cost vs. what it would really sell for in the absence of easy credit. As long as there are suckers to be had in the game, the prices will keep going up.

Call me an idiot then. $22.49 for a neat, unique gift. Who the hell cares? You need to let some things go and just relax...
