Madness or Miser?

What do u do if somebody dear to you are making purchases that's way over their budget and not what you can afford to pay for them?

What do u say to them when u genuinely know that it's an irrational purchase that they shouldn't even be thinking of buying?

And what if you can't say "no" to them when they ask u for $?

Even when u know that they are just being extravagrant and not thinking sensibly.
Likely to be convinced, coerced and fooled by the honeyed words of the salesperson.
Brainwashed to think that the product is even worth that kinda $.

What will u say?

Maybe u can take some time off your schedule and find out exactly what is so captivating about tt product tt makes it so appealing and irresistable to that someone close.
Also to gather more grounds to voice that objection.

But should you go there and keep an open mind?
Not be skeptical about what you hear?
And then make a judgement on whether the product is really worth that $?

But how can u listen with an open mind when you have already set your mind to think that it is an irrational purchase tagged at that exorbitant price?

Will you even go to that extent to borrow $ from people?

That salesperson must be really good if you are convinced to borrow $ just to buy whatever he's selling.
But that is obviously also because you are very much brainwashed, isn't it?

Perhaps my skepticism has set in.
So much so that I cannot think clearly and make a good judgement on anything.

But how to, when it costs $8000, for a mattress?!!!
Do mattresses cost this much these days???

Am I just being too much of a miser?!
