DO your family/friends comment on your expensive purchases?

[iwhohavenothing]

kind of annoying. every time fam/friends come to the crib someone always has something negative to say about what i buy. you spent too much money on thattv...why do you need all video game systems? why do you need a new phone? blah blah blah

its my fing money. while i realize the importance of savingmoney(which i do) i refuse to live my life as one of those people who "penny" pinches every purchase. got to enjoy life while you can.

i could care less what people say

this other day, i bought myself some armani exchange from the store at 5th ave in the city and i was with a girl and she was like "why you spending somuch money?!!"

 

[lurkin2long]

Most NTrs I assume will say yes. I agree, lifes a dash. Do what ya can with what ya got but dont go into debt.

dude got jokes on me
I'm just versatile with my style

one day you'll see me with a ninja turtle shirt with green dunks, other days, you'll see me styling with some nice clothes and pradas

It's all about living life for the moment right now for me

 

[iwhohavenothing]

[ghost703]

I had just over 100 boxes of shoes downstairs in the guest room since I didn't have enough space in my room.. So this winter my old uncle decided to visitmy mom and she put him in that room... And he actually thought that she tried to open a shoe business and failed at it and dude tried to offer her some moneystating that "times must tough" for us. Then she told him how it was mine and he actually got mad at the fact that she let me buy all this shoes

She called me the same day laughing at the whole scenario lol



This all happened while I was in college, thank God I was not there for him to lecture me.



Him and my dad always talk about how they only had one pair of shoes and how they wear it till it fall apart

. Well I keep mine DS.

 

[nyk orange and blue]

dude I had a big collection of jordans...but these last few year, I've been selling some of the shoes on ebay...I don't know.....to me, it's likewhat's the point of having all of these sneakers if i'm not going to wear most of them and keep them D.S or near D.S...might as well make money offthem.

I guess its part of me "growing up" through the years

 

[aqphame]

No, cause everybody around me gettin their own, no need to hate on me

 

[reeceman10]

all the time, I just ignore it though...

 

[joseph camel jr]

Not in a negative way, but it definitely gets noticed. Not clothes or shoes or whatever, but like if a friend of mine gets a new car or something of coursepeople say something.

 

[davis]

all the time, only my shoes though, other stuff not so much.

 

[eljordanhead]

yes man i feel u !
my moms b like "OMG u payed 250 for those jordans,for that go 2 payless an get a pair of sneakers for $19.99!lmao

 

[iwhohavenothing]

wore it with some glow in the dark dunks

 

[apocalypz]

I just respond with, "It's my money, not yours."

 

[frankie calentino]

Tell them if they keep it up, you'll start saving money by not giving xmas presents.

 

[mrboss2you]

I throw them a tycoon shower (make it rain!). Let them pick it up then say, "wipe me down!"

[gotem4cheap]

they constantly do, and tell me "why dont you stop spending and start saving", like an insurance company commercial

 

[lurkin2long]

I really wish I could get a Gucci Store connect. Word to your best connect thread.
