I would love to see the aggregate data for ProVari users. Curious as to median income, and median age. -it looks like many of us have "expensive" tastes!

But, aren't "expensive tastes" cheaper in the long run? I have found that if I buy lesser, I may save a few $ and replace it in a year. So that is why I buy Shun knives, and cook on All-Clad. It's why I wear Oakley or ray-ban shades. My power tools are all DeWalt, Milwaukee or Makita. My tea doesn't come in a bag, and my beer doesn't have a twist-top. So I guess I'm a bit of a snob :) but at least I'm in good company!

I don't know if median income would really factor but to me, it makes sense that everyone has expensive tastes. I think if you have bought a Provari, you likely have the understanding that you get what you pay for and far too many people want the cheapest thing they can get. This is a large problem with Murica..........they don't think about why it is cheaper or what the manufacturer has to do to get a cheaper price because 9 times out of 10, it isn't just buying in bulk.

However, most of my hobbies are a trash can that I throw money into. The guys with the classic cars and maybe the Harley's too understand what I mean.

I went through a few years collecting Coach purses. Stock symbol COH. I never carried a purse until I turned 43! Guess I was making up for lost time?? I love their bags because I know they stand behind them. If there is a problem with one, I take it to the Coach store. They send it to Jacksonville to be repaired. If they weren't able to repair it they would send a voucher for the original MSRP so I could by a new one. They stand behind their products. I haven't bought one for a while because I haven't seen any styles I love.

My wife has a few of those. Used to buy her one every couple months. As for the last year or so, nothing has caught her eye either

I'm that way except with Michael Kors. I have a few Coach ones too. I like them because I can spend a lot for one or spend a lot for a few cheap ones that will break and look bad within a month. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" with a lot of things.

I do believe you get what you pay for... Maybe that is why I don't mind the fact that my wife has expensive tastes, and I don't mind spending on her. Compared to some of the "cheap dates" I've been on in the past.... You get what you pay for!

Lmao. That sounds like my hubby. We were at Jared's looking at earrings and the salesperson said "well, we have a nice CZ collection here". And my hubby said "uh, let me save you a lot of time....just go to the pricey real section cause that's where she'll end up" :D. In fact, he encourages me to spend a lot of money on one thing because he said that's better than the griping that he'd have to hear if I got something cheap. He understands - just like you do :)

I think I'd laugh at them if they started showing CZ! Happy wife = happy life! Sounds like your hubby is a smart guy... And also like myself, probably never complain about the lack of certain things in our marriages...I believe there may be a connection there lol!

You are exactly right. He has no complaints and I get to buy my watches and bags. Just bought $600 worth today. He gets paid back in several ways :)

What else do I spend my money on besides Vaping? You mean I have money left over after my vape shopping? Does it work like that??

No but seriously I put the rest of my money into my recording set up for my music. Just bought a new dynamic microphone and voltage usb box a while back :D

Oh my! Where to start. Let's start with my favorite pastime. I spend on fishing gear. Yes, the guy next to me catches the same amount of fish with his $20 uglystick. But I look good catching with my Gary Loomis rod and Shimano reel. :).


Also a firearms and knife collector, but that hobby has slowed down a bit.
