Putting the cost of audio in perspective

I have to admit to owning many audio components that exceeded $4000 each- including at least 5 different CD players. When my wife decided it was time to update our 8 year old kitchen I was somewhat hesitant but when we actually got to the store I was struck by the prices- in a good way!

We ended up buying a complete set of major appliances:

A top of line stainless steel side by side refrigerator - $1600
A stainless steel convection oven - $950
A stainless steel dishwasher - $600
Even threw a stainless steel microwave to match everything - $350

Total : $3500 !!!!

The point is for less than the cost of a medium high end CD player we got a complete new kitchen. Fellow audiophiles- are we nuts for spending this much on a hobby / passion/ whatever or what?
