Unfortunately, for many, this is very true (except for the "presumably"). Many will spend much more money, but they are sure of the difference....haha.
As our society becomes more economically polarized, there are many willing to spend much, much more money for prestigious symbols of status. Does a Cartier watch really keep better time than a Timex? Does a Rolls-Royce get you from point A to point B any faster than a Ford? We've become a society enamored with style over substance. Things we can show to impress our friends with how much F-U money we have.
