I think the real issue is differentiating between "trading up" for the sake of looking cooler, making some statement versus being willing to spend and value something that may cost more.

You're not necessarily "yuppifying" your life by spending more on something. I'd rather spend more on something if I know it will work well and I can count on it, be it a car, good pair of shoes, TV, computer, cell phone, etc.

If I prefer Post raisin bran over the store bought crap and I'm willing to pay the difference, it doesn't make you a sell out...
