If you'd just downloaded the music for free off the internet, and then put the money that you spent on the CDs into an asset that would appreciate, then you'd be doing your part to help America be a place that's moving toward economic equality and where people's are closer to having their needs met. But if you just love tangible things then hey...have at it.
When I see someone spend money on something that they don't have to spend money on, I always ask myself, "Do they know what that money would be worth in 20 years if it brought average gains in a diversified portfolio? In most cases I assume that the answer is no. You didn't give away 20 or 30 bucks for some CDs, you gave away hundreds.
I guess as long as you don't ask the taxpayer to take care of you when you're old, then it's really none of my business. But if you do, then your actions lead to things like expanded government and less personal accountability in America, which some think are among the things that have led to alot of the economic troubles that we're in as a nation.

Dating a stripper is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks at you in disgust, but deep down they want some too.
