Wow,
  What is this? I wish I was able to afford to floss and profile all this stuff. I do find it disturbing that parents work 8+ hours a day so their kids can wear clothes by designers that dont respect or appreciate their business.  

 I know one thing. I knew better than to ask my mom for a new anything.  We weren't desperately poor but I definately did not have all types of designer  clothes. I don't have a lot now. 
I wish that people could prioritize. I was having a conversation with a friend about why blacks don't invest. IMO, some people spend more money on looking good in the present than preparing for the future. I like nice things but Iceberg jeans at that price  

 ...shoot I would rather start saving to set up a mutual fund so that when I'm 45. I can retired a live like a queen.  

 But until then, I'll shop the sale racks. That's where I find my designer clothes :-)
