Purchasing two graphics cards for SLI is about as extravagant as I've ever gotten no matter what my bank balance may have been (and except for 8800 GTX & GT 280 those graphics cards have always been mainstream midrange cards, not something extravagant).
I've never felt insecure enough that I felt I had to compensate with material possessions or social networks full of people who don't really care about me.
Never felt that I'd be a failure if I weren't the life of a party either.
Not to mention I don't feel my success in life is tied to the size of my bank balance.
I think the quick way to say this would be:
If you don't want to hear about why I wouldn't consider my life "pathetic", refrain from asserting that it is.
