middle class people spending a months salary on designer to look rich smh thats how they get you and keep you poor.
🤑🤑
The internet sure loves redefining what middle class is. Look it up because none of these people are middle class.
I would class these people as upper class. Middle class do not earn six figures.
its because home ownership has become so unattainable near where their jobs are that all they are left with is enough to buy this stuff but not enough for a home near their home even if they buy non of this junk
you guys are straight up delusional morons if you think these people aren’t middle class. 500k and below yearly salary is middle class 🤣
I be contemplating buying a 50 dollar jacket at zara
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 you and I
😂😂€25 jacket, been to the store 3 times looking at it and I haven’t bought it yet 😂
yessss
I was into Prada and so on especially when I was in Europe for 8 years but they were so uncomfortable to be worn especially the shoes, felt so hard to walk with, even they were thousands of euros pricetag, I didn't buy it but were given for free by friends, corporations, etc.
These brands are for mid class wanting approval, real rich will never these overrated average, that's why the marketing is everywhere like peanuts.
Even #LouisVuitton is too poor cannot afford real #agarwood, all they have is only fake oud inside their #ombrenomade as real oud cannot be mixed with other ingredients
Nothing surprising Europe was and will always be very poor so is their luxury based on their very poor nature.
It was an eye opener that people making 100-200K are actually spending 5-10K on a bag/purse. I would have imagined that only people making $1M or more would be wasting money like that.
$3,500 on a canvas bag? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
5:10 UDDERS!!!!
Put it in the market so it grows!
@@carpediem4512 Right... It's wild. I always thought the Gucci backpacks looked dope and went to go look at one upclose and it was canvas and looked cheap AF
Yea I think only 2 of those guys should be spending that much on luxury clothing. The real estate guy and the construction guy , both makes 500k and up
That lady is not regretting the price she paid, like you said.....she was telling you to stop repeating the price because people were around and she wasn't trying to be jacked
Yes that’s what I was thinking. She didn’t want to get robbed on the street
That's not what her body language said. Her body language said she can't afford the stuff and she has guilt around spending recklessly and has a problem.
7:14 64 years married, friends with Ralph Lauren, best dressed on the streets. My man definitely needs more screen time.
That guy is writer Gay Talese, famous for his Esquire article Frank Sinatra has a cold”
@@miguelcontreras3953Thanks for that - I looked him up - he’s 91!

It's a shame Tristan didn't recognize Gay Talese (1:48), the famous journalist and essayist, who wrote for the New York Times and Esquire Magazine. He also wrote several books. Tristen passed up an opportunity to talk with a great writer who changed the field of journalism. Many people would love to have a conversation with Gay. He's had an amazing life and could talk about way more interesting things than what he bought at Ralph Lauren.
lol I was wondering if a famous person walked by and he didn't notice. He did notice that generic Lambo. Straight up Generic.
Honor Thy Father an excellent book
Yeah but he is Gay.
You think the average person would know who he is? lol
Wow, thanks for sharing. Can't believe he's 91!
You guys realize that people can SAVE money for a purchase? Just bc someone's a truck driver or piano teacher doesn't mean they splurge like that all the time and are irresponsible and trying to look rich. They could've saved and budgeted for that one thing.
Possible, but not likely
@@QuickMadeUpName quite likely
@dxuhuang lol ok....
Why is this such a hard concept? It's like people think you just don't deserve nice things if you don't make $500,000 a year.
@carlycrays2831 it's not that you don't deserve it. People work hard and deserve nice things but that doesn't mean you should reward yourself because it's out of your budget. You're confusing deserving nice things with being able to afford nice things. If I am a nice person and work super hard but point make $50k a year along with donating my time to the homeless, do I deserve nice things? Sure. Do I deserve to spend more on myself than I should spend? No.
"Be able to afford what you buy, don't use credit cards". Thank you! This is my life motto. Never saw the color of a credit card and I'm glad I was able to stick to this principle. Only get the thing your current bank account can stand. That's why a debit card will always be enough for me.
I'm not american and am well aware of how they live in general....we call them credit card land. But i do use my credit card only for gas and some purchases, however its only to build on points & miles...the things i buy i could just pay for with my debit card...be sure not " to hang your hat where you cant reach it" & save save save
building a good credit score is always needed, that's the only reason why I got mine!
Credit cards are money makers for me. I not only get money back from every single purchase or service I pay but excellent fraud protection as well. For instance, I bought a boxed mattress just a few months ago which was carelessly left without notice in front of the building where I live, and happened to get stolen. The mattress company refused to reimburse me because according to them, they had “proof” of delivery but I was easily able to get all my money back within days after explaining the situation to my credit card company. Credit cards also offer plenty of 0% loans for a year or year and a half that I usually use on my investment properties. The key is to never carry a balance, and you’ll essentially be paid to use credit cards.
good that you avoid debt, but not good general advice. credit cards help you build credit and improve your credit rating which helps you take out loans and borrow from other lenders. also, credit cards have good reward programs usually. just pay them off so you never pay the interest on them.
Exactly. When I was young I also had that uninformed view on credit. Besides rewards (which is basically a discount), credit also offers fraud protection. Got $50 back I spent on a scam FB ad. Money I would have never seen if I paid with my debit card. And with a good credit and therefore good rate.. you also hedge against inflation. If you want to buy a truck and save for 20 years, not only is that 20 years you are driving the bus.. but by then the price might be higher than you would have paid with interest included in those 20 years.
Better advice is, don't be an idiot thinking that your credit means free money. You should not buy stuff you can't afford.

$100,000/year in Manhattan is currently equivalent to about $33,000/year in most parts of the US. It's lower class.
Your crazy
@@uberhaxonova Google what $100,000 salary in NYC is equivalent to and see for yourself. I was slightly off, but it currently says it's $36,000.
Exactly. It's due to the cost of living. What's considered well off somewhere else, maybe considered lower class elsewhere.
@@kensigregory361 Yes, but it's hard to believe how extreme it's gotten. The avg rent in NYC for a small 1BR is something like $5,600/month.
@@schw0373
Where? Those apts must be in Manhattan. It's usually 2.6-3k for a one bedroom in Queens, Bronx and Brooklyn. Manhattan has always been more expensive. Staten Island is usually cheaper in comparison, but no one really desires to live over there.
most people buying these items realistically can't afford them and are living beyond their means
Maybe they don't buy anything else😊
I’m like Ralph Lauren guy. Spend a bit more for quality but nothing astronomical just for status. Buy classic pieces that aren’t necessarily labeled.
I would change "Dont use credit cards" for "learn how to use credit cards" because my cards has given me more back than i have them, I've never been late for a payment nor have I pay for the annual fee, I just use the points to pay for that, and now I get disscounts on hotels on the card and also pay some of my expenses with the points as well
Still not wise to treat a credit card like a debit card. They are easily abused. They can also cost more then a debit card. You probably have better deals in the USA then what we get in Canada. Our credit cards dont give us things like that. We are the the debit card users in North America. The USA use their credit cards more then debit. Yet our living costs are higher and we pay out of pocket.
@@donk8105 Im not disagreeing with you. I agree to learn how to use a credit card. I am like many. Many have credit cards and pay them off fast. However putting money on a credit card at all, is not your money. Its a form of debt, even if you pay it off. Its good to use one to have good credit. Especially when it comes to purchasing a house or car. However, to have more coming back then what you put in. Im saying that the US is notorious for credit card using and many are in debt as a result. Many canadians also have US credit cards because we travel there so often. We are debit users here more then the US. Its a very american thing to use credit cards. Here we have credit cards where you get nothing back or it takes an incredible amount of use to get anything worthwhile back. To use a debit card though looks better then using credit all the time.
Facts lady...well said. Thats how i use mine
No.
Agree 1000%. People really haven't educated themselves on the purchasing power of credit cards. Be strategic when using credit.
I love how excited the guys were to show off their sneakers !!
my dad was a union elevator mechanic in NYC for years, they can deff make 300k after OT. cool to see someone successful in that business in one of these videos

Most luxury brands scamming middle class people, most people in this video are no way rich at all lol, buying mediocre quality brands beyond their means
Don’t get scammed just know where to put ur money🤑🤝
Hermès...!@@TristanPaine
At least some of them are definitely rich, like the students. The ones who line up outside the popular luxury brands, yeah probably just upper middle class. Watch the reality show Bling Empire to see how some of the really rich/wealthy ones roll. The luxury brand goes to their home themselves for private shopping.
@@TristanPainea lot of the middle class people are old so they probably know how to save and get them self a nice gift when they have extra money not everybody struggling on there last dollar some people have a lot in there savings and once in a while spend money on gift for them self
@@resa574 u fail to realize that social media and celebrities have us thinking to be rich you need to have millions of dollars. Having even a million is still Rich after taxes even with children that average person Allone and survive off of 60-80k a year in nyc if your making 500k that’s pass the threashold income to be wealthy and you can live well off in nyc im a accounting student living in nyc so I know this people think you need 20million to be rich reality a couple hundred thousands consider rich
The truck driver is so wholesome
the old well dressed guy at 1.55 after he said i sold a book for $2,500,000, you should have hugged him and said GRANDPA IS THAT YOU? lol 🤣🤭🙄😮🧐
Even if I did have money to buy from a luxury brand I would NEVER do it because it’s just not worth it as someone once said “money doesn’t make you wealthy, understanding it does”
I agree to an extent. The high end, limited, or even one off pieces made for valued clients or those who have exuberant amounts of money are 100% worth it for the quality and craftsmanship.
BUT all the mass produced items that these normal people are buying is just stupid 😂
I said the same thing until I could afford it. The price was nothing to me
that's you okay..there are people who works hard and they want to enjoy the fruit of their labor..
@@IT-28 big facts
Love the interviews with the publisher and guy from the carshop. They give you real wisdom. Maybe you can do a part 2 with one of them for a 1 hour full depth video about business and life.
I agree. Those people had some wisdom nuggets
Gay Talese it is
Yeah the old man was ripe wt Wisdom...and didn't spend nearly as much as the regular folks
Makes 75k and spent 11k on a jacket. Make it make sense.
Maybe he doesn't live in NY and lives with his parents and doesn't pay rent.
omg that is guy talese, a journalism/nonfiction legend
You can tell Tristan loves everyone. Nothing but positive vibes from him, and loves his fans also. 🥰
Tristan. Big time money you may not know about is the feet pics scene. Guys can make a crap ton, it is my fetish personally but I’ve gotten some of my friends making 10k up to now, but this also bleeds into a scene called findom. 🦄
Love you guys❤️❤️

Tom Wolfe is deceased.

No, it's the author Gay Talese -- en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Talese
I think whether or not you’d want to spend money on these things depends on your age, personal values & family economic status. I'm a single person, no kids yet, on a 6 figure salary (on the low end), and I wouldn't spend that much, because there's always something else I would prefer to put it towards e.g. a holiday / deposit for a nice house / gift for family members etc. Spending this much money on bags / shoes / clothes doesn't make sense to me, but it might to others depending on their situation.
*I didn't become financially independent until I was in my late 40's, and I'm still in my 40's. In addition to having purchased my second home and earning money on a monthly basis through passive income, I've also achieved three out of five goals. I just hope this inspires someone to realize that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet, you can start today no matter your age. Change your future by investing! I made a rather big decision by investing in the financial market.*
Investing in many sources of income that are independent on government paychecks is the prudent thing that everyone should be thinking about right now, especially given the global economic crisis. Stocks, forex, and digital currencies are still good investments at this time.
Sure, investing is essential for maintaining your financial stability, but making any kind of legitimate investment without the correct advice of a professional can result in a significant loss as well.
It's really not easy trading this market. I read a lot of books, tried to study, watch some tutorial videos, did a little demo before funding my account and I still lost a lot. The financial market could be very tricky
Trading under the guidance of an expert is the best strategy for beginners.
Please do you have any reputable recommendation?

i was gonna give it 3 stars but then came the good questions with experienced answers... 5 stars bro 👍
You can spend tens of thousands of dollars and still look cheap.
And I will never wear anything with a designer name all over it. I won't spend an arm and a leg to be someone's walking billboard advertisement. Classless. It's like being a beacon that screams "look everyone, I'm a schmuck!"
the ones obsessed with showing off status are the ones that don't have it...they are insecure about their place and importance so they compensate. If one is secure, one considers function and practical issues. For clothes, bespoke is best because it fits and is good quality. Also, you deal with the makers directly so you can ensure fair wages.
Back in 2018 I purchased snakeskin Monte Carlo Loafers from LV $1830. Only big purchase I've done, would I do it again? No however, I do love wearing them here and there to dinners
You only get one life, treat yourself when you can and when it makes sense.
This is a great mindset!
When you can and when it makes sense. That's powerfull.
Warren Buffet doesn't wear designer clothing and bags...Think about that!

Interesting to hear their mindset. "It's an investment. Buy actual classic pieces. Work hard. Save your money. Stay in school. Don't give up."
you should do a video on some random ass town in the midwest and get their takes on fashion.

Crazy
In NY people tend buy more fashion brands cause they are walking down the street. People see them. LA is a t shirt and jeans town.
saying "don't waste ur money on ur name" after going out of LV is crazy
But LV items have some quality, of course it is not high couture, but it’s not crappy like Nike or Tommy Hilfiger.

Kinda of surprised some of these people were dropping so much on luxury in comparison to what they make
He didn’t know he was interviewing Gay Talese- a world famous author- wow the focus is on the wrong things!
I am earning 25-30k a month. Except spending once 7000 dollar on 2 suits, I never spend more than 150 dollar for a pair of shoes, watch, coat or any piece of clothes. I never paid more than 15k on a car. I never flew business class in my life. I never rented a yacht or bought any kind of boat.
These stuff are all just a waste of money. Save to pay off your mortgage, save for the tuition fee of your children and invest in spending time with friends and family.
You interviewed famous author Gay Talese!!!! He’s was outside of Ralph Lauren in the hat. Celebrity interview!!!
That’s when you realize how poor are French salaries. Here you make 4-5k euros a month is considered indecent when in US it’s nothing
I would like to know the method of payment. Did the credit card finance it?
The writer is Gay Talese. He's is 91 years old and is a legend!
I went to uni, studied finance and real estate, i make $20k/year for the past 3 years i play video games 8hrs a day and work for my parents 2 days a week with 60k in loans, was college a good option? still not sure you be the judge

The well dressed man at the beginning is writer Gay Talese.
I do like Coach bags.... if you have it why not, but I would buy from brands that doesn't have issues with skin color and are conscious brands who are aware and give back! IF I'm a billionaire, millionaire, I won't feel it! I spend on technology to produce wealth, I like gadgets, I don't like bags with all the acronyms on it, LV, G, it doesn't appeal to me! For me, I get Quality over a name. If the Quality happens to be a name brand, then fine! I like to be different; I don't like having what everyone else has just because it's trending!
4k on a wallet....You can buy an acre of land in for that.
I know, I don't get the point. If it's to flex, I can't remember the last time I saw someone's wallet as most people use contactless.
you interviewed gay talese !! (1:47) -- guy's a big deal. he's 91 now, cool to see that he's still independent and doing well :)
Some people also just live above their means…
Making 75k-90k and buying 11k on a jacket and living in New York……. Brain dead he’s the type to go into debt for looks
I do Price vs Value assessments. A $300 Gucci belt has a higher price than a $50 leather belt. But the value is the same- the ability to hold my pants up. If I factor in that I can buy twelve $50 belts for the price of one Gucci belt, the $50 belt becomes a better value buy 12 x.
6 belts
best TH-camr ever

I bought a Ralph Lauren Polo rugby shirt for $13.00 at an outlet store. The other two were $78.00 each, one I gave to my grandson for his birthday. That is it. I am comfortable financially and have no debt, probably because I don't buy these type of items.
I’d only buy designer if its something I LOVE like YSL heels
I still cant comprehend why people judge others based on their wants and needs- like no one asked for your advice ma'am/sir. If you dont want to buy a 3000$ bag then dont, if people have money to buy it then let them buy it. Period. One of the commenters said that its not ALL THE TIME they splurge on spending a lot for one thing, some people can save for months even years for a thing they want and i dont really care bc thats their OWN money. Its their own taste and luxury- i see people who also have a lot of money but dont want to spend a dime in luxury brands, and thats fine. You do you. Its just confusing why people judge others its not like the money is yours for you to judge their whole personality.
I myself believe that i will not put myself in a box, like if i want to conquer the world then i believe i can- and these luxury brands are just small things that i may afford in the future (im still studying law) but nonetheless, if i like it- i will buy it. I will not put myself in a box and have that restricted mentality where 'oooh buying that makes your poor' or 'classless'. Who are you to tell me i dont have class? I can literally be who i want to be and thats none of your business. Ugh.
(No offense but some of the people that have this mentality are usually the people who doesnt have a 'class'. Class isnt define by what you wear hun, its just who you are as a person and how you carry yourself.)
And also if i may add, some luxury brands are investments. The price gets tripled thru time- you can literally sell it in the near future and earn some investments.
When people say their parents bought them stuff, it just makes me wanna vomit
