In my neighborhood, there are still those who are living in the basement RENTING expensive cars EVERY weekend so they can floss. (dont have their own). I agree with the others when they said we should invest in our futures. I have a pension plan and I am not even out of college yet, and that makes me feel better than any brand name!

Meeks, I'm from Detroit too and yes, everyone is rocking the Polo, Pelle Pelle and them damn Avirex jackets!!
I am an alumni from UofM and I swear about half the football team owns one of those Avirex jackets!
I wish I could own a Tommy this or a Prada that! Man, can I just pay my car note? Can I just pay my phone bill?
As far as the high school kids, I live in Ann Arbor, so I guess wearing name brands isn't a big deal up here unless I missed something. But whenever I go to the D, they are all rocking these name brands like they work full-time, making 50 G's a year!! I don't know where they get the money to do it but I agree, that it's getting a little outta hand. Parents need to teach their kids the value of a $1 cuz something is going on. I only hope that these kids that are wearing all these expensive clothes are making the honor roll, helping out at home and doing things in the community to deserve such nice clothing!
