Brand Consciousness - status symbol

Re: Brand Consciousness - status symbol

I like this quote, I was thinking of how to convey this message but this quote makes a my point.

I used to be very brand concious I had very big dreams to make grand purchases when I get a job, but not so much anymore, thank God the dream died before I got a chance to go on my shopping spree. I have juicy couture wallets, makowsky bags, and coach penny purses (college budget friendly brands nothing too crazy) but I bought them to last me a long time and because I liked it I don’t think I’m going to part with them for a while. I think I’m levelheaded when it comes to spending money, I don’t like to splurge too much.

dreams don’t die…it may take sometimes to fulfill because ‘no dreams no gains’…but, having said that, materially, i believe one must dream for good and modest things rather than fall victim to the trend and dream about things that are exaggerated to a great deal. morally and career-wise, one must dream big!

i buy things for it’s intended purpose in mind rather than who made it. i would be happy to buy a car that takes me from pint A to point be which is comfortable and reliable…if a Corolla can do the job then why buy a Mercedes Benz? if a regular jacket can protect me from cold then why buy a more expensive designer jacket, if a good quality sunglasses can protect my eyes from the sun then why buy a more expensive brand.

if i ever get crazy enough to show off [my status], i would rather show them my bank book!
