Alex Korda, a British businessman in the late 1930s, was quoted as saying about a project budget, with a shrug:
“A lot of money—other people’s money, of course, but still a lot.”
Let me offer some advice: when it's other people's money (OPM), it could be career-shortening to shrug off the budget or the budget overruns.
And, by the way, as a PM, you have a fiduciary responsibility to always act in the best interests of your "client". In this case: whoever's money it is. If it is not yours, then you should walk a mile in their shoes and handle their money the way they would.
