My neighbor told me my 'nice' lawn is a waste of water and I can't stop thinking about it.

I was out watering my grass last Tuesday evening, trying to keep it that perfect green color, when my neighbor Mr. Henderson walked over. He pointed at the sprinkler and said, 'You know, in this Arizona heat, that's just pouring money down the drain. Real grass here is a young person's game.' It really threw me because I always thought having a nice lawn was part of being a good homeowner. Now I'm stuck between two ideas. On one side, I take pride in my yard and it feels like an adult accomplishment. On the other, he's right about the water bill and the constant upkeep. That one comment has me questioning a lot of my choices. Has anyone else had a simple chat make you rethink a basic part of your routine?
