Let me preface this by saying that I am blessed to have come from a relatively well off family, both of my parents have good jobs and have instilled into me (at least I think so) good values and virtues and all of that stuff. Last year, when I got my car, my parents gave me a credit card under the pretense that I use it only for gas and food.(under exigent circumstances) And it was all going relatively well for the 7-8 months until I stumbled upon this sub and became obsessed with clothes. If you guys dress this well, with brands that are incredibly nice, how shitty would I look in my beat up clothes? I took it upon myself to get better clothes, name brand stuff, shit that really looks good. It made me feel good for a little while too. But today, I got curious as to how much money I really was spending on clothes over the past two months. The total came out to $556.62, which to some of you living well within your means who just happen to be very financially savvy may not be that much but to me, it was fuck ton of money that wasn't mine being spent on my behalf. I'm a freeloading high schooler abusing my parent's trust. Pointless expenses allotted to things I truly didn't need, ultimately making me happy for a short while and when the "high" wore off, I just bought shit. I guess this long ass post was a cathartic way for me to get my problem off of my chest, but if you're on this sub and are inspired to make a purchase, please ask yourself if you truly do need it. I sure as shit didn't, and now I've got to answer for a massive bill. Edit: A word via /r/streetwear http://ift.tt/2f7159i
