>>9007221My point simply is, wealth is one thing. If you're poor and grind you can make something of yourself. I think the real issue is culture. I am pro-capitalist because I believe I should be able to start a business and provide service/products and become successful. But most corps are so predatory, and have brainwashed people to spend beyond their means on Sneakers, watches, Marvel Funko Pops, etc.
I do enjoy wearing a nice shirt to the office too now mostly because they are clean, and don't try to make a statement but also fit nice, but I live within my means. I always have even when I had $0. I really don't own any materialistic things that don't serve a functional use (I will spend my money on a computer or video games rather than collecting figures or watches for example). I don't care what class you are, if you're wearing a pair of expensive Jordan's you're a brainwashed n-bomb.
