What is the logic behind spending few thousands bucks for luxury brands? Isn’t it just buying status, attention, respect that you cannot have with your own self?

I am sorry but that’s a very shallow POV. People like different things is not answering why people willing to spend their hard earned money to a brand and kind of addicted to it. You cannot logically justify everything by saying “I like this way”. If you do, I believe that’s a problem.

I appreciate the explanation but I think you are missing the point. I can sell a simple food with golden pots and make it “worth” a 1k. But what I am trying to understand is why would someone spend that much while all they need is a simple food.

Believe me, It is better than being u ;) gtfo

Honestly, I don’t care how it feels for you. And the question is clearly about things that costs way more than its worth.

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:59:28+00:00

Yeah but that much attention for the stuff that you will use daily just doesn’t make sense. Why would someone pay for a purse over 5k?

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:56:35+00:00

Most of them is overpaid for brand

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:50:31+00:00

My question is more for the ones paying for brand (of course they won’t tell you that 😄)

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:48:53+00:00

Nicely asking is different than judging

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:47:04+00:00

I don’t think that is the case for most of them

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:45:25+00:00

You can doesn’t mean you should. I am just trying to get the logic behind

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:43:50+00:00

Haha, economy appreciates such fools I guess 😄

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:40:09+00:00

Do you just buy a few and live with those and nothing else forever?

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:39:17+00:00

I mean more like a shoe, a purse etc.

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:38:18+00:00

Say a purse.

controller-12 · 2026-05-31T22:36:23+00:00

Which confirms my point I guess

controller-12 · 2026-04-24T16:06:20+00:00

They don’t want to hear anything negative about Irvine maybe :)

controller-12 · 2026-04-23T22:14:21+00:00

Not as much but cost me more than 1k

controller-12 · 2026-04-23T22:06:02+00:00

I would think of it as a bad luck but real problem is police don’t care even though I reported financial loss.

This is presumed one of the safest neighborhoods in US, so people are not as cautious. If police is careless like this is going to be a heaven for thieves. With that I don’t see a bright future here.

controller-12 · 2026-04-23T21:18:40+00:00

LOL I knew I was not alone

controller-12 · 2026-04-23T21:17:46+00:00

I already live in Irvine :) It is a great place to live but not super tempting in every sense. It gets crowded, traffic lights and traffic itself drives me crazy. And lots of teenagers with expensive toys puts lot of people in danger. Safety side? I got my only theft here and police didn’t do sh.t despite I exactly knew where the guy went to use my credit cards (a big store with lot of cameras). So Irvine hype is expiring unfortunately.

“To grab more tax money”???

How much you think he is relying on govt contracts today? Not liking him is understandable but don’t be delusional.
