Had a long conversation with my friend late last night and its somehow set me into deep thoughts. Throughout the whole conversation, he kept talking about branded goods and jewelleries like Tiffany and Cartier and it kinda irks me. The matter that irks me is not that i am jealous cos i cant afford a Tiffany ring etc but the way he looked at life. Perhaps he is born with a sliver spoon thus he tend to adopt a different perspective towards his expenditure.
As for me, i am totally the opposite, its not the brand that counts but the momental value. I can buy 50 bags in exchange for a 850 bucks prada bag. People may argue that a branded bag is a timeless piece but issnt it the same if u were to take good care of your 50 bucks bag. Anyway he proceeded to add on that i should ask my future bf to buy me Cartier and not Tiffany cos the latter is more cheapo and i should kept asking him to buy me jewelleries cos guys will normally slack off after marriage and of course after setting up a family.
Well u can say i am a naive or impractical but the most important thing that i look for is the character. It doesnt matter whether the person is poor, as long as he stays true to you, willing to commit to the family, pleasant looking and holds a stable job. Anyway he added on that i am a girl and i have the right to be materialistic and he emphasised the fact that we should spend on ourselves when we were young.
Frankly speaking, i am a person who will frown upon branded goods, but the endless conversation on branded goods somehow tempted me. Taking a look at the people walking on the streets, it looks like its a norm to carry a LV or a Gucci bag. But i should resist to the temptation. Money should be spend wisely.
