It seems money is looked up to these days not class, breeding, education. I get fed up with it assumed I am inferior because I can't afford extras. I suppose I mix mostly with well off people. Younger people and children are rated by money too. I say it mostly for them to not keep judging people by their income. I make a point of speaking up when I can't afford to join them in holidays, theatre trips, etc. But I like the phrase mentioned, "don't chose to spend money on..." I must try and get into the habit of wording it that way. I don't skimp on charities, good food, grand children, presents, so we all have our priorities.
