"Talk is cheap" is the well known adage. To see what people really value, look at what they spend their money on.
For me, I enjoy eating, so I like going out to eat on the weekends. I guess that's my weakness. Sushi, Thai, Chinese, In-N-Out burgers (double-double with animal-style fries). But I also put my retirement as high priority, so I max out my 401k every year.
Other people like watching TV, so one friend got a 3 thousand dollar 45-inch Sony LCD HDTV. He's also a gadget freak, so he has the iphone, appletv, ipod, macbook, etc.
Another friend got a 60 inch Sony HDTV.
Another person I know likes to go to the movies, so he goes every weekend to catch the latest flick.
Another person got a boob job. Quite a pricey augmentation too I heard.
Yet another person is very fitness-oriented, so he buys expensive gear and clothes from REI.
Another friend I know is a photography nut, so he has about 20k in photography gear. And a bimmer, which he doesn't drive.
Last saturday, someone was sharing that their uncle has a Land Rover, but it's so expensive to run. It guzzles seven gallons per mile, so it stays parked most of the time.
Another person I know doesn't have a lot of expensive "things", but he has travelled all over the world. Australia, Israel, Jordan, Brazil, Chile, Easter Island, London, Paris, Alaska.
What do you spend your money on?
