So my boss went to a fancy furniture store and the cheapest couch was about $8000 used. If she wanted a new one, it was around $30000. She then immediately left the store. Why would someone in their right mind buy a couch worth more than a new car?

Especially when the couch is more likely to be replaced sooner than the car! Hahaha.

wow, there are people who simply can afford it and don't mind and that they are able to NOT care might add to a feeling of value, superiority, ease and exclusiveness. They, like anybody else, buy not a couch, but a feeling that pleases them.

I don't even understand why people spend $2,000 on couches. I mean, it's a thing you sit on.
But regarding the $30,000 couch, for rich people, money is no object. I guess they just want to feel "expensive"...
