has collecting jays ever stopped you from buying something more important?

Try to prioritise what you need first...shoes can be bought a later date.
Easy for YOU to say!

Um sure, books for college, lunch (middle school), food (college), a car, and Air Max 1, 97, and 95's, lol.

 

[sneakerheadsonly]

wish I had a good job so I could have my priorities and hobbies ..... hahah

 

[onlyjayz]

Jays got me homeless, but at least I still got fresh Jays on my feet.

 

[lebrongames]

there's nothing more important than collecting Js

 

[darrylito]

keeps my car low on gas

 

[stizzle79]

Well they stop me from buyin hooka's

 

[luvkix07]

It is hard somthimes when Jays were dropping every three weeks like years past. But I try spent about 10-15% of my take home on kicks so I dont go COMPLETELYbroke.

 

[d0njaye]

maybe when i was younger. but now, the answer would be no.

 

[bigboiep]

i had 2 owe madd money 2 alot of pplz but instead i used that money to buy jordans

 

[2tigerfan3]

No I actually have my priorities set. They're only shoes. It isnt that important.

 

[justjenius84]

A few years ago, I would easily spend thousands on Jordans and other sneakers per year. Now I can't justify buying sneakers that are more than $75. Mypriorities have indeed changed.

 

[jordanretrohead23]

I've been good lately.

U have to split your money wisely whenit's your $$$ or you just wouldn't know.

 

[enyceking]

in all honesty it used to be a really serious problem for me. that "sneakers ruined my life" t shirt was made for me.

 

[damnneardeadstock]

all the time... i eat nothin but mcdonald's, and my girl complains cuz i never take her out. she needs to understand i got sneakers to buy

 

[mustbetheshoe58]

^^ ouch

it never stopped me from buying things that were important to me. i make sure i prioritize the things i need to do before jordans

 

[kobekilledit]

No. If you have your priorities straight buying something important stops you from getting a pair of collectible Jordans.

 

[thegggame]

this is why i quit collecting. whenever i needed something, instead of buying, i saved up for some jordans.

[mayhemgatz]

not really......i usually save up for the pairs i really want. sometimes though...eWindow shopping on ebay....

...i end up copping one or two pairs of shoes on impulse

that i didn't want to miss out on, and that usually EFF's with my"going out" money....

......and then i go out anyway and mess up bill money..

..it's a evil chain of events....as long as the rent is paid and the electricity is on....and i got a lil

for myself.....i'm good!

Geesh, I have TWO really good jobs and I still feel bad about spending that $1,187 on mostly Jays in the month of March...I NEVER EVER allow my bills to gounpaid or miss a meal(I CANNNN EAT!!) though

Seriously, I blame it on resellers for buying all shoes in my size and selling them with profits.
Apparently, late for Jordan shoes just for a couple of days will cost me a couple of dollars more.
Need to change my front bumper, but I have to spent the money on rebuying Jordans from resellers.

 

[aj23tokb24]

I wanted to get the IX & XIV Package but due to other important needs, I didn't get them. Now I'm getting ready to save up for the II & XXIPackage.
