Saying the 30 grand is better off going to PT is like saying "I should buy an escort instead of a porche because I can give the rest of the money to PT".
Or "screw the mansion, i'll have a 2 bedroom flat so I can give the rest of the money to PT".
If you kept on like that you would have a crisis of conscience every time you bought something for yourself.

Meat may well believe that 30k in loose change would be better off going to PT than on something he wanted for himself, but i'm of the viewpoint that if it's something he wants (and why the hell not?), and he's got the cash to splash, I say go for it
He's sure as hell earned it.

It may be a bit of an extravagance, but to quote that classic movie American Yakuza again .......

"If all I wanted was what I need, i'd be living in a cardboard box with a blow up doll".
I am just saying I do not see Meat as self-aggrandizing. I'm sure he can afford any thing he wants. If he were given the choice between some "walk of fame" and giving $30K to PT, especially after viewing 'Apprentice" I have to believe he'd want it to go to PT. I could be wrong, but I think he has all the fame already and does need to prove that.
