Meme aside, there is no justification for doing that. Even if I saved up my own money, I wouldn't get an extravagant hobby when others at home are starving. It's just asking for trouble.

A $1999 pc, sure. But not $2000! That's just too much.

That dollar could buy the family enough Ramen to avoid starving.

Gotta save the $1 so you can buy a box of pasta for the rest of the year.

Eh, the wife isn't starving either. Clearly the kids aren't trying hard enough

They should just stop being hungry. Easy fix.
