Uh, I beg to differ.
I went through a move this year that cost me about $25K. So that's where a lot of my "disposable" income had to go. Plus, you know, supporting 2 kids, getting them in new schools, my own school tuition, responsibilities. Stuff us grown ups need to do. Not buying pairs of kicks every week that I'm NOT going to wear for 2 or 3 years.
And the only reason I budgeted for the black/metallics, my one grail and the one shoe I'd NEVER miss getting, was because including pairs for me, my girl, and my kids, I bought 12 of them. But yeah, you can e-clown me because you think you have more income than I do. That and wearing your shoes 5 years from now should give you quite the nice ego rub.
Dudes are way too sensitive these days. It must be the Kanye effect.
