so u think white folks dont do this too? im tired of ppl sayin niggas always doin this and not doin that like were the only ones with problems.....stop putting white folks on a pedestal cuz they walk around broke cuz of buyin dumb shit too they just hide the fact that they broke better.

oh no.
white folks do this but not at the rate blacks do.

i have lived around and with white folks and they are quick to buy some new balances or skateboard shoes for 65 bucks and keep saving them dollas.

paying for brand name clothes doesn't equal living paycheck to paycheck

it's called having budget and if you stick to it you can the things you like plus more
what business do you know of that has name brand clothes in thier budget?? LOL smh at thinking the ups man is wearing brown sean john outfits

the bottom line is we wont ever own anything but our smaller possesions like clothes and furniture .... and yes ... you do live pay check to pay check ..... its not because of buying name brand clothes tho ..... that is true ....

i feel like this if u have extra income and your bills are stable, then by all means do you. i think what the T/S was trying to say was cats that have little to no money, arent financially straight, and blow the lil $$ they do get on expensive ass shit they dont even need. i dont care what yall say we all know people that do it. my boy back home just blew a $4000 school grant on muthafucking jewelry, and a trip to MIA. and this nigga dont have a crib or car. SMH
i think he's tryin to ask why do people buy name brand clothes when they are equal in quality to generic brands. the only thing your spending the extra money on is the name. i guess it could be argued that "name brand" clothes fit better and are more comfortable in some cases ???

btw ur boy lost for going on that trip LOL smh

trill nigga posts...

the reason why nigggaz pay more is because they're coons...point blank

what's the difference between the prada & the fila...none... one just say prada the other say fila

fila-helmsman-prada-america-cup.jpg


one cost 350 Bucks the other 50, yet people rather pay 200+ more dollars for the prada

this is what most companies do...cop them a plain shirt for 5-10 cents , put some designs on it and more importantly there logo and sell it for $50 ...aND now ya clown ass fill like somebody...

c/s. for a moment in my life i was kinda into being fly and paying good bread for name brand clothes. not no 250 for jeans.. thats ridic, but i would break bread. until i went to Korea. and a nigga could get brand new authentic J's for $40, air ones all that shit for 25-35$. then i go back to the states and that got the same Jordans im rocking in foot locker for $150. went to marshalls the same coogi shirt i had at home i paid $10 for, was 90. i said fuck that shit. if the korean man selling it to me for 50, this fool probably getting it for 10. and cats in the states paying 3 times what im paying]. i havent been to a mall since that was 4 years ago . now man clothes is just clothes i buy what i like and dont give a damn about a brand.

i was all on the name brand shit when i was a young cat - but now niggas got bills & shit... it becomes less serious. especially when you get alot of money - it becomes alot less important. i know millionaires who wear no brand name clothing whatsoever. it becomes less about appearing to have money ... because they really DO have money.

And when you in school you have to "keep up with the Jonses" once you graduate and you dont have to see the same people everyday you tend not to give a fuck

Kinda sounds like a lot like that company name supreme that would just put a pic of JFK/Kermit the Frog/the brand logo saying

Supreme in a red box.its amazing and stupid seeing hypebeast sneakerheads that are either white or asian spending over $70 for a plain shirt and fitted that just says "Supreme"

running a business is not the same as personal finances smh,

like I said if you keep a budget and allocate a certain amount for things outside of food, shelter, and emergency funds, you can put amount aside for any brand name/ non brand name item you wish. As long as you keep track of your expenses, the brand of the item is irrelevant, you can buy small things (clothes) and still save and buy larger things (cars, homes) at the same time, if you know how to budget.
