    It’s meant to stop you from spending $30k on a kitchen renovation because you hate the way the cabinet doors open, not to fix health and safety issues.

      I sold cabinets for a while, and at the time I lived in a little studio apartment, basically paycheck to paycheck.

      People would drop $10-50k to have slightly nicer cabinets. It seemed so trivial to me.

      But then again, I would spend $20 on pizza or whatever sometimes so I didn’t have to cook. I’m sure to someone starving, that would seem like a ridiculous use of resources.

      It’s a strange feeling interacting regularly with people more wealthy than myself.
