Realized how fucked up SF has made what I think are reasonable prices for things. Was going to purchase an $800 Krane bag until I realized how ridiculous that would be for a 20 year old student...Too bad, was a nice bag.Originally Posted by gwydion
I'm 20 and a part time student and I feel your pain, BUT I'm still buying that Junya blazer in a couple weeks for 850.

^Exactly, I basically don't have an income until June 28th when I move to the new office, but if you plan and budget well you can manage to support a fairly pricey clothing hobby being a student. I did it for years. If that's your priority, I mean.

It's great that you're so involved in fashion and willing to drop a lot on clothes even if it means living a more meager lifestyle, but I hope you're considering your future too. I don't mean this condescendingly, I'm sure you're a smart kid and don't doubt you're aware of your future. But I've done the exact same as you in the past, with aspirations of saving money whilst spending on clothes, but I didn't. I'm now paying for my mistakes of living too much in the moment and put simply I wish I was less involved in fashion in the past as I would have had more money not to mention time to consider and prepare for my future.

Xenox - I love your insights. But you're either about to ask a girl to marry you, looking to buy a house, or in collection with the IRS. Or in in a reevaluation phase. I did all of them and clothes were one of the few salvations during and after. And now that I'm in a more contemplative place, I realize that looking okay and feeling confident has no comparison. Oh, I'm paying, and I have little to show in terms of wealth or property (or a wife), but re-invention is part of being human. The boy needs to learn that play and frivolousness should never lead to shame or guilt if kept within reason. They need to be priorities above all else.

me too.
i'm 21, am a student and work part time. Pretty much zero obligations, therefore i'm enjoying living with zero savings.
i'll probably get sick of it in a couple of years, but at least by then i'll have a sweet wardrobe.
plus i don't wanna catch the bug when i'm 30 and have to support a family. may as well get it out of my system now when there's nothing to lose.

I currently have a pair of nike zoom victorys that love to eat away at my achilles heels. Was looking at Mizunos and Asics earlier today..
