It's possible to live well in an understated way.I consider the funds my friend - whose gender I hadn't specified - quietly spends on charitable causes a good use of money. As is the time they freely donate to the same causes.As I said, it gives one a choice. But if a wealthy person chooses to live simply -  to wear t-shirts or sack dresses - there will always be those who tut tut and say they know better. Sometimes without having even met the person they're judging. It's the flip side of the old money clique's snobbery.</blockquote>
