Stop bringing function into the equation.
It's kind of like when I used to snowboard. We were doing the half pipe, rails, big air, etc we spent every dollar we had on season passes, gas money, sleeping in vehicles...
We had one distant friend in our group that always had the latest and greatest gear and said that people only see you and judge you based on what you're wearing in the lift line to take you back to the top. Nobody really knows how good you are except from what you're wearing
that may have applied to him and his crowd, but everyone I knew thought he was a poser
In the end, do what makes you happy
If it's impressing people, good for you.
If it's best value, good for you.
If it's functionally most efficient, good for you.
It's your husband's money, spend it how you want.
A woman owns a Louis Vitton purse so she can show everyone shes so rich that she can afford to spend 5k on a purse that's maybe worth $500 in materials and labor. The male version would be lighting your cigars with hundred dollar bills.
Maybe but his broke sure has a lot nicer shit then I do
I’m not wearing designer clothes, driving a new S class, a new raptor, and a fat ass gold chain around my neck, two story brick home, and a damn French bulldog that was $10k lol.
You are right though because I have seen him fake so much but he has also gone into some
Partnerships with people WAY out of his league just because he looked the part.
I agree with some above, you can't compare purchasing say a custom GAP rifle versus a stock Savage as there is HUGE difference in quality and getting what you pay for, but instead I offer up the analogy of some Crye pants vs. 5.11 clearance.
Just $2500?
Pshaw....

My wife wanted a pocket knife for Christmas. Something she could carry around the farm for odds and ends. Picked up a Benchmade Freek for her. If she wants a purse she can go buy her own. I’m not getting involved in that and she is well aware. If she wants to spend stupid money on a purse then she is welcome to. She makes plenty to do as she likes. Last summer was sunglasses. I don’t care what the difference is between a $100 and $700 pair. Just don’t ask me to go fashion accessory shopping and I won’t ask her to go buy me a new pistol, rifle or shotgun.
Really though LV is for peasants. Look up how much Hermes Birkin can cost.
On another note....though many folks buying this stuff have lots of money and more power to them, there are a ton that don't. Most of the new diesel, new SUV, 4000sq foot home, every new toy people around here couldn't approach what I have built......and we drive older vehicles, live in a 100 year old farm house etc. The difference is I shunned the staus quo and busted ass for the early years and now we can do the things we like and want with cash. I see women around our area with stuff like that but they still have a car payment....it's ignorant. Insert any other extravagance when the necessities are not owned outright.

Some of the wealthiest people I've ever known, looked like they couldn't buy a decent automobile.
Forget the Wheezy Vitton. I want the premier steamer trunk.....four of em.
Why do people pay $1300 for a Zero press that essentially does the same thing as a ~$100 press?
Yeow. Just poked around that on fleabay:
NEW HERMES NEIGE SNOW WHITE FAUBOURG BIRKIN 20 HOUSE CROCODILE BAG KELLY HANDBAG | eBay
This is the Neige (Snow) Faubourg Birkin 20, the most special and rare one from the Faubourg collection. Due to the exclusivity of this bag, and the privacy of it's future owner, we blocked out the alligator scale on the front view photo.
www.ebay.com
I looked at what items that seller had actually sold and it was all under $5K. Most under $1K.
Like Chevy has Corvettes to get people in the showroom to buy Malibu's.
So a movie or musical star or some other high profile "influencer" gets a bag that cost more than your house (probably at a hefty discount, if not a free loan as long as it is displayed in paparazzi pix) and the wannabe lemmings go out and drop $500 on a Hermes scarf so they can "be one with the lifestyle".
Alternatively, hedge fundsters or brokers take part of their year end bone-us to drop on 20-something supermodels in the Big Apple, who in exchange are their sex toys for the next year.
Bet the LV guy made his fortune by selling a shit-ton to vain women (and men) who want to be perceived as hanging with Lady Gaga or Paris Hilton whoever, made his killing selling mid-range crap to the women with (their or their ex-husband's) disposable income. Look at Peltz, the billionaire who owns Wendy's. His daughter gets the $300K Hermes purse that she uses a couple times a year while daddy rightsizes Wendy's burgers into the lowest quality crap that customers won't spontaneously vomit.
Nowadays, "Career women" or newly funded divorcees have no qualms about dropping kilobucks on purses and garages full of shoes in some misguided belief it will change their world into a Lifetime movie where Antonio Banderas will sweep them off their feet. As if anyone could actually lift a bonbon-munching Jenny Craig washout with six-figure cc debt and her herd of cats.
They're all Kardashians. Overt or covert.
I am jaded. I have seen a retired special forces guy who know dresses and identifies as a woman decided he did not like what Ben Shapiro had to say and grabbed Ben by the back of the neck and said, "If you do not stop what you are doing, will be leaving here in an ambulance."
The useless host said and did nothing. The tough guy lady should have been ejected from the studio for making physical threats.
You are totally on point.
Here dick suckling skills are foreplay level, shes not a finisher. If she ever sees this I won't have to worry about getting another xmas gift.
So you buy expensive stuff,,, with your own money ? Then you can buy exactly whatevrr the fuk you want. You are a grown ass man.
Also... You poors need to look intoLamborghini furniture. Bet you thought they only make cars.. nope.

Hopefully they are made better than your sentence.....LOL
The bottom line is this......
Married rules.......It's no longer your money or her money and if a $3k purse gives her the same satisfaction as $3k rifle scope does you.......then so be it you can't say shit.
Not married rules......Who the fuck does she think she is wanting you to buy her a $3k purse if she wants to buy it for herself that's her business.

Let's not forget the cost of ammunition... Whenever I'm eyeing that new rifle, I'm also thinking about how much it will cost to shoot and how often I can afford to shoot it. The days of shooting 200 rounds per range trip of anything other than bulk 5.56 have come to a halt.
When talking with friends about shooting 6.5, 7, 300, 338 and other expensive calibers, this image sums it up perfectly.
And yes, I bought the wife a Louis Vuitton purse...

Since you took the time out of your day for that I can only assume that you are someone who’s wasted thousands of dollars on a poorly made status symbol.
Well, I do have an AI AX with three barrels does that count?
The only way a girlfriend would get a $2,700 purse from me is if she lets me fuck her female friends.
Was telling my wife about this thread. She said, “That’s nothing” and sent me this. Crazy.
Used to identify as a woman. https://www.dailywire.com/news/reti...veals-he-has-detransitioned-destroyed-my-life
When I bought my wife her first LV bag I set off a chain of events that led me to a strange place.
I was disgusted with the idea of spending $3k on pocketbook- and rightfully so. I also got the most sublimely filthy lovin' I've ever had. As the bag collection grew things got even more expensive and freaky.
If she ever gets a Birkin bag I don't think I'll be able to look her in the eye the next morning.

Maybe 25 or 30 years ago I asked a friend for a Christmas gift idea for my wife. She recommended a (forget the name) purse and wallet. I head to the local department store and find the purse section. Sticking out like a whore in church I told the lady what I wanted. She pulled them out and said multi-hundreds of dollars (maybe $500)...for the purse. Matching wallet was two or so. WIfe oohed and ahhed over them, used for maybe a year and put them in her closet. Gave them to the DIL some years later.
A few years ago LV called my wife up out of the blue. Told her that the 4-5 year-old purse she bought hadn't worn well for other customers. They offered to take it back at full (current) retail in exchange for another one of her choosing. All she had to do was make an appointment with the LV store she was next going to. Wife super-happy with the new purse. I was impressed by their customer service and brand management.
Recently sent my 12 year old DTA SRS back to DT because it would no longer hold repeatable zero between barrel changes. DT took 100% care of me and made it right. I am impressed with their customer service and brand management.
Wife never gave me grief over the DT. I'm fine with her buying things she perceives as nice. And nice things cost money.

LV is definitely quality stuff. This I know. The classic print is also ALWAYS cheaper than the limited run shit.
However: it's Burberry or Gucci FTW.
Looking at you @TheGerman

So my wife has actually had this conversation. And allow me to preface it by, she can basically afford whatever the fuck she wants.
People who can afford things like Gucci, LV, etc generally don't have a ton of it and/or if they do, its not that big of a deal to them. It's the people who technically can't afford it but 'splurge' on a 3k purse, $900 heels, etc that make a huge deal over brands.
My wife likes what she likes. She also might be wearing a pair of pants she looks really good in that she found on sale somewhere for $12 while wearing a Gucci scarf and whatever today's bag is.
Meanwhile, people at her job making $14/hour are flipping out she has X brand bag and then they basically max their credit cards out to 'splurge' and get one too.
My wife has these things because she likes certain patterns or colors or because it caught her eye. She also knows that most of this shit is like $50 in material and $2950 pure fluff.
The other people have them as faux status symbols because they can't actually afford them.
They are not the same.
I have some extremely nice firearms. I didn't buy them like a lot of people do because I keep them in the safe, polish their roll marks and take any opportunity I can to show them to someone when they visit at a 50:1 show and tell to actually shooting it ratio. I have specific weapons because I am one of very few people that shoots on almost a daily basis and beats the shit out of things. The 'nice' things seem to take to this much better. Albeit I will admit, I also have a Stag I bought literally 15 years ago that you wouldn't be able to tell apart from any KAC on a reliability and performance level.

Rich people stay rich by living below their means.
Poor people stay poor by living beyond their means.
Fancy things won't buy you happiness, but hookers and blow will.
With all due respect, I’m gonna need to see some pictures to judge if she can afford $12 pants and a Gucci scarf.
my wife told me when we got married never buy her designer bags etc she will return them. So guys, choose the right one 
Did @TheGerman just humble flex on poors, and then proceed to say his stag is basically a knights armament company ?
I dont know if im proud of him, insulted by him, jealous of him, of wanna have a beer with him, of flex back on him.
Probably all of them ?

KAC is the Louis Vuitton of AR15s.
I can't bring myself to drop $5k on a bougie BCG and rollmark, but if you've got it, flaunt it.
You're paying for something....dont kid yourself!my wife told me when we got married never buy her designer bags etc she will return them. So guys, choose the right one
