Sis step up to the pulpit I'd love to hear it. People are really out of control 💀💸 A friend asking how much you make is outrageous omg how did you reply?
@@hayaglamazonluxe I replied “I do well” and left it at that. Early in my career, I wore some Louboutins to work and my manager said he’d divorce his wife if she bought a pair due to their cost. I was so taken aback. I had to explain to him that I own just a few pair and didn’t have a closet full. That was very early in my career in my 20’s. Now in my 40’s I don’t explain anything!
I actually had a friend who I hadn’t seen for years and she actually sent me the sweetest message about how happy she was to see me enjoying the finer things in life. She was there before I became successful andI she never once brought it up. It made me so happy because it was very thoughtful and she didn’t have to say that. I could tell she was really genuine and it was so refreshing to hear compared to the snarky comments I would get from some family members and coworkers.
I once had a colleague that somehow found me on instagram, then during the lunch break asked me how much was one of my bags and when I said it didn’t matter, she went on to google the bag and told the whole office how I have such an expensive bag 💀
Pocket watching and how people respond is a reflection on them, not on me. I agree with you Kagam that no good deed goes unpunished. You’ll be judged if you seem “below” but even worse if you are “above” them.
I 100% agree with you about pocket watching. I have experienced it with both friends and colleagues and it used to make me so uncomfortable. Now i am focused on my own grass to even noticed other people’s. I like to surround myself now with people who think the same.
It can get very unpleasant dealing with these comments especially when they come from people who we care about which can make it very awkward. I think setting boundaries is really important.
Beware the friend who has put you in a box and doesn’t like it when you outgrow that. This pocket watching is so annoying. The one I haven’t figured out how to handle is when people go “oh my god i love this lamp, where’d you get it!” and then i feel sheepish saying I bought it from Hermes… It usually halts the conversation and makes things awkward
@@jordanwilson4728 Oh that's a good one. And it can make it very awkward because one has to answer and then people will start trying to figure out how much it is. Such a good one to think of how to answer.
I lent my mum my chanel brooch for a wedding recently and family members wouldnt shut up about it. "Its so sparkly", "its a bit much, dont you think" and "you have so much money to buy that" were comments made. Seriously people need to just stay in their lane sometimes 😮💨
Easy to brush off the comments but it’s the stares that really get me, sometimes I just wish they would speak up about what they are thinking so I can deploy the “on I inherited it from my grandmother who was really into xyz back in the day.”
Thankfully, my parents are so poor they don’t even know how much luxury items cost or what they are so when I’m around them, I feel OK. Around others who actually know brands it does get to be awkward and I realize people do start to pocket watch, however I don’t explain it. I don’t overly try to draw too much attention to it and I’m not going to wear my bags or clothes in shame because of how others may feel about it.
Yes it's very much dependent on your society, culture and social circle. It can be really hard to ignore people's comments eventually as well. Thanks for watching 💃🏿⚡
I think if people are getting upset at one's luxury purchases and general living standard, perhaps it's time to change one's social circle and upgrade out.
Relatives that are pocket watchers are the worst bc they want something from us. They think we have to be nice but im good at maintaining a distance from them.
My sister in law comments "that's expensive" with my stuff when she comes over. I usually say I got it on sale or something like that because I don't know how else to answer.
@@saragibbons Yikes that can be awkward. Got it on sale is a perfectly fine response but you don't need to justify it. You can say even "thank you" if someone says something is expensive. It sounds weird but it jars them into realising the comment is rude. You could also say you don't remember, it's a gift from your man etc
I agree, indicating that something is on sale and lying about purchases indicates some sort of shame that what you’re doing is wrong when if you can afford it, it’s absolutely not wrong. When people do that to me I just smile and nod. I simply don’t give a reaction or an explanation. I work hard for my money and I spend it on whatever I feel desirable to spend it on at that moment in time
Great video. This is a juicy topic. I think a lot of people don't realize all that glitters ain't gold - you never know if people are unboxing just to sell, or unboxing fakes, etc.
Yeah there is so much inheritance, especially with the younger creators who do youtube as their full time job. But my problem is, is that they try and make it out like their youtube (less than 200K subs) is providing this income for this lifestyle hahaha. Idyll pays, but not that much lol
@@hollygrace6814 The economics of TH-cam for luxury cannot sustain this lifestyle which is why so many resell their collection after a while. Flogging Amazon links, H&M yes can pay but luxury can't. Also TH-cam is now been overtaken by TikTok and will cease to be relevant for luxury soon.
@@hayaglamazonluxe Urgh the resellling. Content creators dont seem to get it. "I can resell my collection, its my channel, my collection, i can do what i want' Yes, but the reason its an issue, is that you have an audience, and you share opinions which are now conflicting. Therefore, what can we really trust? They will put out videos following the Vlog sale, but their opinion has no integrity.
@@hollygrace6814 They can absolutely do what they want for sure with their channels but they can't control how people react. I think content creators reselling is different from normal consumers liquidating their collections to add new pieces. The former is for finding new season purchases and doesn't lend itself to building a true sense of personal style. It's just a lot to see constant reselling idk 🤷🏾♀️ I don't resell anything I buy because I only purchase things that match my style.
I could give a whole sermon on pocket watching! I had a friend recently outright ask me how much money I make. It has gotten out of hand.

THAT PART about friends is VERY TRUE. A lot of friends are triggered when they see a friend coming into wealth!
@@lucym9237 And the comments can get VERY weird fast 🚴三
This video was so sooo good!! You nailed itttt.
@@luxmerg9165 Thanks so much for watching 💃🏿⚡
Great topic! I didn’t know there was a word for this. Do a whole series on all pink elephants in the room. 😅
HA HA HA pink elephants indeed, sure just suggest a topic! xoxo

She is very nosy. 🤥

Anytime someone tries to help they get punished 💀💀💀 So unfair as well. I agree it's totally a reflection on them

This ✅ Friendships change with seasons and sometimes people drift apart.

Maintaining a distance is a good idea especially to avoid those inevitable requests 🥲
do care people in family will say anything what you buy from coach to LV do care what they say

There are so many nosy people out here. I would not ask someone how much they paid for something. Thank you for the commentary on this topic. 🩷🤗
@@balletdancernj6894 Yes it's quite presumptuous to ask especially if you aren't close or don't have shared interests
