Best news I had in last 3 years !

Nope that's a lot of money in my world lol

I grew up really poor and learned to place values on things. My son buys blue jeans and gym shoes that cost $100 each. I find that crazy. I pay $20 for jeans and maybe $40 for gym shoes.

My son in law has no problem paying $60 for a meal. When I eat out it's always under $25.I usually order water to drink because I'm not paying $2 for one glass of pop. I don't smoke or drink alcohol (very expensive habits), or gamble ( basically giving away money imo), and I don't buy lottery tickets (also basically just giving away money). I prefer $89 a night hotels to $130 a night hotels.

To put it in motorcycle terms, I would never pay $600 for a helmet. I could not pay $1000 for a jacket and pants or $500 for boots, I don't care who makes them or how good they supposedly are, I just cant justify paying that much for them. I thought Staintune mufflers were cool but I'd never pay $800 for one. Or $1000-$1500 for a pair of shocks, or $800 for a custom seat. My bikes all come with mufflers, seats and shocks I find quite acceptable. That's why I wear HJC helmets, Tourmaster jackets, pants and gloves, and Alpinestar boots. I find them a good value for the money. I guess I'm just frugal. Then again that has allowed me to live debt free for decades.

I don't begrudge people who make those kinds of purchases, but money has been too hard to come by in my life, for extravagant (in my view) purchases. To each his own.

I save my money for gas, oil, tires, brake pads etc (and I wish all those were cheaper) lol.

Well said, Ferret!
So just for your amusement...

The Rolling Stones – 50th Anniversary Tour (2013) – Average Price: $624!
Forbes.com Wrote:...The Rolling Stones tickets for their 50th Anniversary Tour blew all other concert tickets out of the water in 2013, pricing at a lofty average of $624 dollars on the secondary market. The highest priced stop on the tour took place on May 11 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and carried an average ticket price of $1044 dollars. Adults might’ve been shelling out big bucks for their kids to see the One Direction tour, which ranked second on our list. But they were still willing to pay a 36% premium for themselves on The Rolling Stones tickets, propelling Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and crew to the #1 highest priced concert tour of 2013.

no wonder they're having so much fun on stage
