It's a variant of norm. Another variant is to throw away anything one doesn't use for more than a year, rent-not-buy most of entertaining stuff, including musical instruments, game consoles, fancy cars and dresses, holiday villas and yachts. Actually, hoarding and junk collecting is a prerogative of the poor.

Even renting "fancy cars and dresses, holiday villas and yachts" sounds like an opulent lifestyle, where someone has a lot of disposable income and is finding was to entertain himself with the extra cash.

It may sound like that, but it may be the other way around. Here in Moscow I can rent SmartForFour Cabrio for 720 RUB (10.80 USD) per hour via carshering app, insurance and city parking included. 45 feet sailing yacht on Mediterranean costs 2500 EUR per week and is suitable for up to 6 people, berthing and fuel will add 500 EUR, cheaper than most of hotels. Check out AirBnB for holiday villas)
