I don't think Rollo is doing anything too extravagant actually. He makes a decent income and the cost of living where he lives is ridiculously low. Heck, I have a nicer TV than him and I'm sure my house costs way more where I live. I also have two kids in daycare. You've got to live your life to the fullest, our time in this life is limited. I know that I personally went through a long period in my youth where I didn't have a lot. I think it's fine to spoil yourself sometimes if you have the means, provided that you're not going overboard.
If I had a $100,000 Wisconsin home I would probably buy a cottage and a boat also. You kind of need the big SUV to tow one of those also.
It feels strange defending Rollo here, however I have seen much better examples of a life of excess compared to how he lives. I know people with 16,000 square foot houses here. And actually even that doesn't seem all that excessive to me. The house is absolutely beautiful and if I had the means to afford it I would absolutely buy one. Lucky for me I get to visit whenever I want and they take good care of us when we go there. My TV is still nicer than theirs though.
