Me (23M) and my girlfriend (22F) have been struggling hard lately. We literally have bread but no butter, our dog Max gives us guilt trip stares because his bowl's been empty for 3 days, and we're washing dishes with Head & Shoulders because dish soap costs too much. Our fridge is just expired sauce packets and stale crackers at this point.
I work part time at this warehouse plus been trying random side hustles here and there but nothing's really panning out, while she's job hunting with zero luck. Basically we're both grinding but getting nowhere fast lmao.
Last month I'm scrolling at 2am after another failed attempt at making extra cash, feeling sorry for myself, when I find this sketchy site selling "designer" knockoffs. Fake Supreme for $30? My tired brain goes "yo I deserve this after busting my ass all week!" So I blow $120 on bootleg everything while we're literally rationing dog kibble 🤡
Packages arrive and it's straight trash. Supreme logo looks like it was drawn by a drunk toddler, Jordans smell like a chemical spill, hoodie feels like sandpaper. But I'm wearing this garbage thinking I look fly while my GF stress-eats plain bread for dinner. She finds the receipts while checking why we overdrafted again. The pure disappointment when she realized I wasted our last $120 on fake clothes, man I wanted to sink into the floor. She just goes "so you worked all week and tried all those side things just to blow it on fake Supreme while our dog starves?"
Now I'm back to the grind in my disintegrating hoodie, eating dry toast, realizing I really chose looking rich over feeding my dog. Nobody even complimented the fits btw. Galaxy brain financial decisions strike again đź’¸
TL;DR: Worked part-time and failed at side hustles just to waste money on fake designer trash instead of dog food, disappointed my stressed GF, learned that poverty flexing is peak stupidity
