Maybe he just doesnt have anything worth powering up
Personally the reason why I save up Stardust is so it gives me something to work towards. Probably the best feeling is hitting a million Stardust and then telling yourself that you’ll go for 2 Million.

An Ive just passed 625 000 dust
Damn straight, just hit 1.46mil & 2mil is the next goal.
I’ll use some along the way but the Community day should help a lot & with the number of people raiding RayQueezy right now there is no need for me to have fully powered mons unless I want to try a trio or duo (which I don’t want to yet).
Plus the lower level bosses can be taken out by myself & the gf.

My highest amount of stardust I ever had at one moment was around half a million. Currently I have 29010 stardust.

I am saving up (kind of). I use every rare candy i get instantly on kyogre to power it up.
I have 170k from powering up my Kyogre
In between update: the event starts in 21 hours for me. Over the last days barely played but already earned 33k dust extra, 268k total now. I have 4 10K eggs en 2 x 5k eggs running who will hatch during the event and plan on using a lot of starpieces tomorow.
So, 268k dust right now. Let’s see how ‘easy’ it is to farm some more dust and how much.
270K right now, saving up till I hit higher levels and get bigger pokemon to power up
Got 200K with Community Day

Had almost 500K spent on dragonite now im around 350K
So: ended the event at 403k dust, made over 100k in those few hours.
Right now i’m already at 427k.
getting stardust is easy, even when no events are present. This whole discussion revolves around spending it. If you don’t spend, you can have millions in no time at all. My 427k will drop by 200k before this day is over, keeping my 235k backup as usual. Millions are far away for me, i like to powerup my mons

Wish dust came even easier and some point of the day, catching pokémon gets stale.

Back to just catching anything for dust.
Now I’m just below 200k from powering up my Sceptile
I always keep at a cache of 1 million dust. I have hit 2 before but spend a million on power ups after I got there. Timing was good because they had just rolled the legendary birds and in needed a golem army 
The reason people save and don’t spend it right away is the cost to power up a Pokémon at high levels is tremendous. It’s nearly 250K to power from level 20 to level 40. So that million dust is really only enough to max out 4 ‘mon of power 6-8 to reasonably high levels.

Not always, I keep loads of stardust because it looks nice to have a lot of it, and because there’s very few things I want/need to invest in.
My highest I ever achieved was like 750k and I’m at 430k now. I never go below like 350-400k stardust.
