What is the stupidest, dorkiest most retarded thing to buy you can think of? (Expensive stuff)
New-rich or poor normie edition.

Is have to go with stupid expensive clothing. I used to deliver for UPS to a ‘high end’ clothing store that appealed to urban rappers and the like with money to blow. Average pair of jeans was $400-$500, shoes for over $1,000 and regular T-shirt’s easily in the $50-100 range. They sold jackets too for hundreds. It was all just for the brand. All the employees had $50,000 cars too. Biggest waste of money I’ve ever seen, everyone in their walked around like they were loaded feeling good about dropping thousands on a few shitty outfits.

Vehicles, period. If you're buying a brand new (gas) vehicle right now you're truly hopeless with money.

All vehicles are deprecating assets. I ride public transit (train + subway/skytrain) in a suit to my six figure job and get to read a book every commute.

Blowing tens of thousands of dollars on something that needs constant maintenance ($$$) and loses value constantly ($$$) is blue pilled as fuck.

5fig price watches are ridiculous. people buy watches for status but ironically watches offer almsot zero status. only a watch specialists will apreciate your watch, 99% people cant tell what it is or much it is worth.
