    Displays of wealth in a world with so many sufferiny disgusts me

    I was thinking the other day about how a friend once pointed out someone carrying a handbag that sells for $10,000. I’m like… send that person straight to therapy and community service. That’s so much money on something a $100, tops, bag could do.

      A Birkin bag is 20,000 and is supposed to just be some simple “carry all” tote that costs basically college tuition and some people have multiple. I dont know how they can justify that to themselves.

      When they blow an amount of money that could permanently change your life … on some snobby bottle of wine … that they probably couldn’t differentiate between a $10 bottle of wine if you subjected them to a blind taste test … and then they only drink half of it and throw the rest away.
