I work with incredibly wealthy people on a daily basis... and they don't stay wealthy by spending $600 on straw shoes.
The illusion that the average wealthy persons blows their money on crap like this comes from television, not reality.
On a serious note, this is true.

Envy his parents. It's their money anyway.

Re: Recent purchases..
So apparently purchasing something of high value is absolutely pointless if it isn't out of necessity. I guess anyone going to the NBA Finals is a fool, just throwing away $1,000-$10,000 on a sporting event ticket

It isn't always the blessing that it seems. Got some miserable people out there with wealthy parents.

You're comparing a possibly once in a lifetime sporting event, the result of weeks, months, and even years of passionate fandom and hype, a chance to revel in the glory and joy of your favorite team winning a championship...................... to shoes.
I see your point.

I don't. Those kids tend to have mad trust issues because so many people are friends with them because what they have, not who they are. At least as a broke n*gga, you can be pretty sure that people aren't with you because of what you "have".

It's even more expensive and something that will be worthless after it's done. People go to be able to say "I was there, I'm a better fan than you/I have more money to spend"

Oh, actually I retract that. I can't wait to tell my grandkids about the pair of slippers I had back in 2006.
pretty sure i can have both, and fully plan on going to an OKC game if they make the finals.

You kicked off the thread with a pair of $600 straw shoes... it was kind of inevitable.

There are at least 10 of these threads from a while back..I just decided to make a new one.
The shoes are overpriced, as are all premier designer lines, but they are absolutely the best money can buy as well.
I thoroughly enjoy clothing, therefore I see how I am in no wrong here.
