Now what about expensive jewelery!! I bought a 'Tiffany' bracelet and necklace from this woman in Kits who was selling them. Fake, but they look so incredibly real (and they're heavy too). The only difference is that the 925 is on the bottom and not the top of the hearts. $30 each! Crazy.
LOL. People giving each other lessons on what's worthy to buy or not to buy.
Demand, people, demand. People will pay however much they want on products from their perceived value of the product.
The dudes toting electronics as worthy purchases. They become obsolete in a year. Chances are, you don't need them. GPS, cell phones, video games, MP3 players, etc, you don't need them period. The average holding time for a mobile phone is 18 months for North Americans, and I wonder how many people actually sign up for those 36 month contracts.
Alcohol is not useful. You do not need to drink alcohol.
As for shoes, those who are saying they will never spend over $200 on a pair of shoes will change. Sure, a pair of Ferragamo or Varvatos certainly beats the quality of Rockports, but is it worth that much more? When you can afford it, it becomes much more worth it to you.
Wait til you see mid-life crisis middle age man spending $XXXX+ on watches, and the items' sole purpose is pure status bling.
Venture into other hobbies such as golfing, boating, audiophiles, and other equipment intensive hobbies and you quickly find yourself sinking into debt if you even tried to scratch the surface of what's out there. They are people who races cars and motorcycles on specialized tracks, cost of some racing specific motorcycle tires that last one week: $300 each. When money isn't a issue, people spend to their heart's content.
Lay off on how other people choose to spend their money. If you feel a $300, $400, or $500 shoe is worth it you and you are willing to part that much for a pair, by all means, buy it.

Never use Apple products as examples, hahahahaa.

I bought those two, but she had tonns.
I wouldn't buy fake gold or something like that =P
Nicole I can't see the links :(
Spending a lot of money on shoes can only be justified if they are Air Jordan's, nothing beats.
Most I ever spent on shoes (Jordans) was $200. The ones I wear now were only about $150 though.
