Agreed! I have had people get upset because we have a 60” television. They actually asked me who needs a 60” TV. We have it because we wanted it and we can.

And that’s wonderful!
I have no issues with people having more, or living differently than I do. I am quite happy and content.

It’s when the folks who live much bigger than I do feel they have an obligation or a right to lecture me about the car I choose to drive, that I have a problem

I recycle paper and plastic. I reuse plastic bags, plates, containers, etc., until they are no longer reusable. I have a compost pile. I have my own reusable bags that I bring to the store with me. I never litter, and in fact, pick up the litter from the ditches around my house and my neighbor’s house. I hang most of my clothes to dry. AND - my AC is set on 65 because it’s too damned hot to have it any higher than that. And I’m not going to turn it up, no matter what Al Gore says, and my little house will still use less power in a year than one of his homes in a month. So he can spare me the lectures.
