But I'm worth it!

So I've heard this line on many reality TV shows lately - mostly spouted by women in reference to material possession - mainly jewelry - and it drives me crazy - like moon boots! It is probably a bad sign when I start to notice stuff like this across such great programming like "Top This Party" and "Rich Bride, Poor Bride," but we have a writer's strike here people!
Anyway, I noticed this and it always seems like the people who are NOT worth "it" tend to say this. For example: A fat, bossy, bride was looking for a wedding band with her fiancee. When seeing a $14,000 ring, she claimed, "But I'm worth it."

A) I don't think this couple made that kind of money
B) This is the engagement band!
C) You are stupid

The only comparison I have to these types of people (and the rich, attractive ones as well) is my wonderful Fiancee. She NEVER asks for stuff like this, and NEVER says she is worth "it" in an attempt to cajole monies from me. But that is exactly why she is worth it. That is why I've gotten her a Louis Vuitton bag and more recently, a gorgeous engagement ring. She's great in so many ways, and deserves nice stuff - but I don't need her to tell me and she doesn't have to tell me either!
