Why do people care about other peoples money? I have an idea, how about you go up to someone in person and ask them this question. i hope they dont lay you out kid.

I don't think OP is talking about kids....I think he's talking about adults that have the same priorities as kids

people that get benefits dont get to just chill and collect cash...well at least here in cali, my parents lost their jobs last year and had to get assistance, in order to do so, they had to attend
a jobs training course or something like that and also volunteer somewhere..my mom started volunteering at a stroke recovery center setting up tables and helping out with cleaning duties..
she still does this 4 days out of the week for 6 hours a day and she still has to put in 20 hours at the job class...luckily steppops bounced back and is working 3 jobs..people cant afford to stunt in the hood unless theyre slanging or really defrauding the system, like the chick that won the lotto in michigan and still collected welfare..
people getting unemployment are about to get cutoff in cali, my boy got let go in april and his ish is about to end, mind you other folks got like 3 extensions..
the reason this happened is because their unemployment levels went down and is doing better than i think 12% is the requirement for federal exttensions or 11% not sure..

i dont think he's talking about adults. I think he's talking about poor/hood people using his tax dollars to buy jordans. How does he know these people are poor and using his tax dollars?
I mean you're on an internet forum where people post their 100+ shoes but you're complaining about some kids you see on youtube?

My brother in law called me and asked if he could borrow money to get those Jordan 4's that came out. I told him no. I had the money but I didnt want to give it to him cause he needs to get his priorities in order.

I think you fundamentally have two things confused here. I own about 60 different pairs of shoes, and I afforded them. It's not to jock anyone else -- it was for MY simple love of sneaks. Collecting sneakers isn't that much different than being a collector of stamps, model planes/trains, cars, etc. In regards to shoes, that's what a try shoehead is. I buy what I like, not something just because everyone else wants it. I haven't bought sneakers in about 18 months! But I want these new 11s tho! lol Just for the simple fact that I love 11s, and they dont crease like a pair 4 or 5s.
On the other hand, you have the hypebeasts who are just buying shoes to fit in with the crowd. These are the people who go out of their way, skipping more important bills or feeding their child just to pay for their expensive taste. I would never spend 200 on shoes knowing that it needs to go to my phone bill or rent. That's just me though.
Don't get made because someone has a massive collection of shoes. They could be true collectors, or jocking *** hypebeasts. You don't that by looking -- don't judge a book by its cover.

Its not about WHY you collect. Its about what you are sacrificing to collect. If you are putting sneakers over rent, car, bills, food, a better quality of life, and financial independence from your parents then its sad.
