Once you've got your kit, how much more stuff do you actually need?
I've gone to formal event where the "old money" types are very conspicuously wearing tuxedo's that were new back when I was young. This has prompted my observation that:
Old money gets to be old money because they don't spend it.

Well that's the thing. If I see a bargain or when I pluck up a couple of hundred pounds from some overtime, I'll buy myself something new. In 9 months I've got myself 7 wool kilts, 6 jackets, 8 sporrans (and I'm about to buy another), and numerous bits and pieces to go with each outfit. I'm pretty much set for life... but I know that I'll buy more and more as I see more that I like.
I need to pull back a bit and start saving for some other things, for once!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
