16. I don't judge how people spend their entertainment money

Super Bowl, World Series, Boxing, Snow skiing, scuba diving, sailing, etc.

IMHO, If someone has the spare cash, then they are free to spend it as they wish. I know some people that think I spend too much on my boats, but it's my entertainment.

While I wouldn't spend that much to see any sporting event, I won't judge others who do.

If someone is rich and pays their fair share of taxes, then they should spend the remainder as they see fit.
