If you want to spend your money on gold encrusted hamburgers, and it's what gives you enjoyment, not sure why anyone should want to degrade you for doing so. It might not be your cup of tea, but then those people arnt trying to force their way of play on anyone else, unless you're a team trying to take their spot from them, then as in any competitive endeavor, you'll need to make the time and money commitment to do so.
