Not to belabor the point below but how many times can you honestly tell the difference between real gold and a plastic gold bracelets in the mall? Unless that person stops you and tells you that it is real or you take the time to actually hold it in your hand and examine it, you won't know. So what are you paying the extra $300 for? The satisfaction of having wasted money? Or is it that you just feel bad for all those gold miners out there just trying to make a living? Clearly I'm being a bit absurd because I understand that people have been trained by modern culture to believe that they have to have the real stuff in order to feel important but does it really make sense? Have you ever really stopped to think about that?
I'm being a bit harsh but my point is that we just need to think before we spend sometimes. I've learned that lesson the hard way so I'm a bit solid on this point lately.
