[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, nowhere in the article does it say she actually bought them. It says she had $58 and tried them on and loved them. Doesn't say she bought them.

Second, I read somewhere a year or so ago (and can vouch for this from personal experience) that poor people often spend money on frivolous stuff because they're so far in the hole that it seems impossible to get out. The $10 on McDonald's isn't going to pay the $200 light bill anyway, so might as well enjoy something in life, even if it's just dinner at a fast food place. If they save all their extra $5 bills, it's going to take a really long time to add up to anything substantial, whereas spending that $5 now, brings some temporary happiness.

I agree that saving is always better than spending on something you don't need (perhaps she could have, or even did, buy those shorts cheaper on eBay or poshmark, but went to the store to try them on), but it took me a long time to learn that.[/quote]

There's a picture of them wearing the shorts.  It doesn't look like a Lululemon store. [/quote] Doesn't look like a house or apartment where poor people live, either. [/quote]
