Well, I would certainly hope that if one had the disposable income to buy an FTDX5000, he would also have the resources to take care of the family.
My K3 was slightly north of $4k after all was said and done. To many others, that might seem exorbitant. Anyway, it's all relative. The important thing to keep in mind is priorities. I'd certainly frown upon someone who goes out to buy any expensive item and then not have the money to feed the kids, take care of the YL, etc. etc. This is after all, just a hobby.
