A $1,200 handbag and a 1/2k for a pair of shoes is a bit extreme, but so is $60 or $70k

for a pick-up truck.  We can guess which (of the two) genders is charging the former, and which the latter.   Btw, surely a later model used pick-up truck would do just fine, wouldn't it?  Anyway, in one of the videos there's a man  who reports how many fully loaded vehicles are purchased at the expense of future financial security; in other words, the extra $30-ish k is better served sitting and gaining interest, so that 10-20 years down the road...

Meanwhile, one of the red-pill punks, typically, gets his cookies off reporting how delusional (single/post-wall) women are with buying status items.  Granted, he says his wheels are old, his clothing comes from discount stores; his extra income sits gathering interest, for future use.  Smart him.  He, however, chooses to forget that financial irresponsibility is gender blind.

If you totaled the overpriced shoes and purses bought monthly, or bi-monthly, and totaled the bell-n-whistle wheels traded in every three or four years (if not more often); then throw in the vacas, on whichever of the sheet's two sides, bet the amount would be about the same.

Speaking of purses, (and shoes...or anything else) it's better to buy quality.  Cheaper in the long run.

  1. I couldn't agree more. However, a truck is a much better investment ( if you don't trade it in on a newer model every few years). It lasts way longer than shoes or purses.

  2. Had my truck for 20 years, it rusted and so had to take it off the road.
