  I think it’s more an expression of “being wealthy enough for plastic surgery as the world is in decay” rather than anything else.

  It’s their version of claiming they have “fuck you” money.

    Which is funny, because I have no money, and have no problem saying “fuck you” to anyone.

    Kinda makes their most prized possesion meaningless, no?

      Funny you say that. I’ve grown up poor, life without money didn’t stop me from living great. Just by devaluing it, it’s slowly come to me faster than others that live by it. Now I’m sort of at the point where enough is enough, it’s a hassle at a point and I can’t succeed in life if I’m not living, just bound by it.

      So I kinda see it as a failure. Like something that gets in the way and holds a person back in life if they lack the capacity to think much for themselves. I’ve met very few rich people of substance or value in anything beyond their accounts. Not saying they’re worthless; just not of much consideration for value.
