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!
