Perhaps "well off" was the wrong term. I simply mean that a ~$1000 chair is considered a "luxury purchase" that many aren't able to make. Even as a programmer who sits for the majority of the day, there are many other priorities that tend to come first and you would need a fair amount of financial comfort to make said purchase.

But I feel it's not appropriate to speak of how someone else should be spending their money. I regret the initial comment.
