You see it in movies all the time: "Only the best for my...," says the handsome wealthy man. I smiled.
A long time ago I used to think that this and many other Hollywood ideas were true, and perhaps some of the time they really are, but after working as a high-end custom metalwork and lighting designer for the past seven years I have learned something to the contrary. Most of the time it's not the money which drives people to get the best, it's actually education. I have noticed that the clients who have traveled around the world and chose to learn about their surroundings and the people around them are much more likely to appreciate the fine things in life, even when they are much less wealthy. Interesting indeed.
