yes I understand. Saving is never a bad thing. But he made a ton of assumptions and implications that aren't true. And he's truly ******* ignorant. I think he misunderstood me by saying I can only afford one pair as in I'm super low on funds and sneakers are taking priority over every other thing in my life. No it's quite the opposite, I budgeted 200 for a pair of sneakers this paycheck. Sneakers make me happy and it's a relatively healthy vice. I don't have children and have very few responsibilities besides taking care of myself. So to say feel sorry for me if I'm a grown *** man was a college education and a pretty solid job, he needs to ******* check himself. Because he has no idea what he's talking about.I can agree with this for the most part, but maybe he's someone who does save his money and only treats himself to a sneaker purchase once in a while, like he saves money every paycheck, but once every 2 months he allows himself $200 for some kicks. I don't know.
It's true though, my life and finances got much easier when I stopped letting money burn a hole in my pocket. Half the time you're dying to cop something it's just momentary. If there's not one pair of those 3 kicks that is just absolutely calling your name then you'd be happier waiting until something came along that did. I've had too many times where I jump on a sale or an impulse buy and then two weeks later there's a quickstrike or collab that comes out and I already spent my money on something I didn't want quite as much.
