    I always see this shit and laugh. It’s sound logic, sure, but not applicable to most people living paycheck to paycheck in America. Which bills should I skip for multiple months in order to have excess money to buy $400 footwear that I HOPE stands up to the test? I usually get a year or two from my shoes and spend about 50 on them on average, and that sucks, but say least I can then also still get groceries and my bills paid. I think a lot of you guys who post these comments think you’re extremely clever and no one else understands long term investments, but it’s way more often the case that you guys have better lots in life and can afford to dump a wad of cash on stuff like this and not break the bank.
