Default This is sick.

I am having some concerns regarding my total lack of respect for the value of money. I am a 22 year old college student. I play 30-60 limit full time. I play 10-20 nl on a fairly regular basis. My hourly rate is higher than my dads and he is a doctor.

I am handling the money fairly well. I am investing some of it and saving almost all of it. However, my dad makes tons of money, and he still has a respect for money. When we go shopping, he will look for the lowest priced item. When I go shopping, I feel like I am losing money to look for a cheaper item.

The fact that I devalue money is important in the game, but in actual life I look kind of like a jack ass. Especially around friends and family who don't know anything about poker. I always say, well its just 1 big bet.

Anybody have similar problems/concerns?
