Burberry Is Crap

Or maybe my mom just likes to manhandle things?  My mom's Burberry handbag which she probably used for about 3 months is falling apart.  The threading that attaches the handle to the bag to give it a more clasped look is falling apart on one of the handle and one of the leg peg piece on the bottom of the handbag fell off so now I have to go take it to a Burberry store to get it repaired.  I don't even know if the bag is still under warranty because I have no idea when she even bought the bag since she purchased it awhile ago at the Burberry store in Vegas but never used it since until recently.  This is just how luxury brands are, they have no substance.  You pay mega bucks for crap which are just as good as the ones you find in 99 cent stores except with a different label.  Luxury brands do not make any good product, they buy their manufactured goods from the same factory as everyone else except they slap on their label and suddenly the same bag that sells at Old Navy for $9.99 is now selling with a new label for $999 at Burberry.  My parents work in the clothing industry and the same thing applies there so that's why my parents are very picky when they buy clothes because they know the quality and the different label mark ups.  Basically, know your crap before you buy!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree eh?

A Double Edged Sword Please

You know the general saying that love is a double edged sword? Well, a promotion at work is the same thing too! When you are performing well at work you are given a promotion and a bigger paycheck and as a consequence, you will be overworked with new responsibilities and less time to relax and enjoy your life. Being worked like a mule isn't so bad if you had no life and a family to go home to but if you do have a life and a family then you will be so stressed out from trying to balance both. So the question would be, is it worth it? Would you rather make more money and lose your family or would you rather make decent money and keep your family? Generally, your mind is in the right place because we all do want to give our family a better life by making more money but if you're stressed out then it's just going to be a domino effect and affecting everyone around you. Be happy, be free, be a bum! Bums have it lucky, no one to tell them what to do and they can do whatever they want. Not worrying about what to wear and no one to impress so funk mouth city here I come! There's no one to tell you when to work and what to do. Bums make more money than you might think because look at how much traffic they receive a hour which is probably 400 cars and let's say 1 out of every 25 cars hands them $2. It would mean that a bum would make $32 every hour! It's no surprise that a certain millionaire disguises as a bum and begs for money when he's not in the office working.

I don't need no dentist, cheese!

Luxury at its best
