Rather like saying that I should have taken my kids to a Holiday Inn Express last weekend rather than the Four Seasons and sent the extra money to 'the poor' instead.
You should be annoyed by the fact that Ben earns as much in a month as the average American earns in a year yet is still doing this.
Not really. You got a break out of your weekend away with your family.
Lucky is doing this for the sake of travel, but is unashamedly soliciting donations to do so.
I've been involved in a charity for so long, and I know the effort it takes our volunteers to raise even £1k. To have someone soliciting donations to experience pure conspicuous consumption is rather sickening
To see it on this scale is worse. I do see a moral difference between your example and this one.
