Just a thought, can wealthy people be decadent? I've always thought of decadent as being in line with spending more on something than I could really afford but i was going to get it anyway. Whereas, if you don't have to think about the cost implications because you have loadsa dosh, the same mindset doesn't apply

In a social context, the word 'decadent' is often used to describe corrosive decline due to a perceived erosion of moraltraditions (A society that discards unnecessary and outmoded values would not be considered decadent, although perceptions of "unnecessary and outmoded" significantly vary). Due to arguments over the nature of morality, whether a society is decadent or not is a matter of debate.
