Haha, I love that guy's reasoning. If I'm going to spend hours a day on a machine that is going to bring me pleasure and keep my body in great shape, I feel justified in spending one month's wages on it. An average month's wage in 'Murica is $5000.

I'd like to see that guy's car. If he doesn't drive an inexpensive car, but instead spent tens of thousands on a mere mode of transportation, we know he doesn't take his own advice.
