No I totally get it. Its all stupid. Prom, like weddings are only a few hours. Why are you spending that much money? You're a spoiled brat, thats why! LOL
I just bought some Reebok running tights, they were on clearance for $25...thats A LOT for some leggings! But I had to look at the bigger price picture, they were originally, $65, so I got a good deal on them only being $25. My husband got an Adidas hoody for $25 and it was originally like $70 and he looks damn good in it! LOL
I feel really uncomfortable buying expensive things for myself, or anything for that matter. Like, when we went shopping the other day and I got my running tights, I really wanted some new running shoes. I found a pair that I fell in love with, $140, HELL NO. I love them, but I had to walk away. I started out that day in a weird "lady haze" where I felt compelled to go shopping. In my mind I was like, I want some zebra running tights, some black ones, so purple ones! I need some new shoes and a new hoody! Then I got there and saw the price tags, tights being $50-70 and hoodies being $60-100, I was like mmmm...better not.
But if I'm shopping for AJ or my husband, I'm like, BUY ALL THE THINGS!
But we live in an era where "my super sweet 16" show on MTV is what kids strive for. Even just saying that title, makes me feel old becuase that show was on like 10 years ago. LOL But these youths see rappers and celebrities spending tons of money and think that they should be able to do the same thing and guilt their parents into spending a stupid amount of money for prom or birthday parties or whatever.
I grew up POOR! That price tag is a very important thing!
Now though, not being poor...I'm still super cheap. I don't want to spend a ton of money on anything. Ohh, I have to tell you guys about No Power Summer 2014, I'll share on my blog, its going to be great! LOL
Youths of this time are brats and think more is "owed" to them. When really, they're just brats and they are "owed" a punch in the freaking face.
