I could afford to live at a better standard than I do but upmarket lifestyle just does not appeal to me. As long as I have a few favourite luxuries then the unnecessary conspicuous consumption of an extravagant lifestyle is unnecessary and environmentally damaging.
A comfortable but modest budget is quite suitable. Also you meet a better class of people.

+1 on this. There will be lots of eyes rolling on this........but that proves the point!

Please tell me what I would be interested in trading or bartering with you to exchange.

I'll service you if you'll service me, but that's not going to replace a sail or buy a round of drinks at the yachtie's club.

Still looking for someone who wants to trade sailboat parts for fish and coconuts.
