Not necessarily but that's just one of the byproducts. It's just that for the most part we are able to distinguish between our WANTS and our NEEDS.
No we dont need:
My mom has been living in the U.S.A since 88 and probably eaten out at a restaurant less than 10 times. I wish i could do it too but me having grown up here since my late teens am somewhat "americanised" and take part in the lavish spending habits that are encouraged here in America. I still absolutely refuse to pay over $99 for any shoes or sneakers.
- A $15 haircut every week
- A $100+ pair of sneakers
- A car that cost over 2/3 of our annual salary
Some people here have the mentality of "if you make it you should spend it". Like this girl i was dating. I remember looking at a pair of jeans that i loved but the shyt was $85 and i'm like fukk no and her response to me was "well, why not? You make twice my salary and I buy those all the time. You can afford it. Just get it". As she said that I had thelook in my face thinking..this is how some people actually live their lives.
shyt is depressing
I got cousins who work at pharmacies for minimal wage and live in the projects
They have no car and don't plan on moving but they got the newest Jordans and pelles. Talkin about someone was sellin the pelle for 300 and couldn't pass on a deal like that
look in my face thinking..this is how some people actually live their lives.
