Of course, everything is relative, but I can assure you that some of us have had to make significant sacrifices in terms of rearranging our priorities in order to afford our Leicas. For example, I drive boring, cheap cars but have a Leica M7, M6 and R8--because my photography is more important to me than my wheels. By no means am I independently wealthy or anywhere close to it. This does not mean that I would rip anyone off, BTW. As recent corporate scandals have shown, the propensity to rip other people off appears to be quite unrelated to one's income.
