Having a grand taste in life is good but can you afford it is the question. I stopped wearing watches since 1999 when I saw diamond Rolex in reality.

Twenty years everyone thought I don't love watches, as I never wore one.

Two years ago, my daughter said, dad, I want you to buy a Ferrari and I said, child, we are rich but I will never want to waste and told her why I never wore a watch, because I loved Rolex and spending 10K for a watch cannot digest.

Next week we were in mall in Dubai, my daughter took me to Rolex showroom and ordered not one but two (pair) and said, dad have it.

Really love this movie, to all young people, have taste of best, but work hard, smart , be something and then have the best of it.

Never on debts.

Now what I'm wondering about is why none of them have showed the boxes, shopping bags, or receipts that came with these purchases. When you buy suits from Kenzo and YSL, I imagine you wouldn't just be keeping them in flimsy plastic wraps and actually keep the original cover that they came with.

I think it's possible that these men have been buying fakes all along from local merchants who say that they're genuine.

Zaitoon55

The stuff a real, authentic. Their community can easily detect fakes and look down upon whoever wears fakes. Being a Francophone country, I suppose they have people in France who order the cloths for them just like many other African countries.

Fix your house first!!

Machirim

@Opulence Luxury Did you not see the last guy and the ‘lesson’ at the end of the doc? You can look good without breaking the bank, the key is color and choice, not brand. But always prioritize the people you love before yourself.

Edit: La SAPE reminds me of those YouTube videos on how to do ‘gentlemanly’ things…like how to dress better and that sort of thing to not only look good and get girls, but also for self-esteem and the like. Which isn’t bad at all. But in his words, it’s not about forking money for a suit that costs millions. You’re wrong about La SAPE about being just about colors when multiple people in the video described it as a ‘gentleman’s society’.

I’d would use my money to move to a another town and get a better job. (Optional Quest: and then try to move to United State whenever you can) and then get a nice suit or clothes at least.

One of the most pathetic things I have ever seen!!
For him to watch his wife , children and family struggle to make it day to day , and he himself contribute nothing is beyond trifling . He - and the other sapeurs are essentially useless . Massive respect to the men and women in the CONGO who work hard every day to provide for themselves and their families .

@Kodabilobizator that's true man 🐈. I wonder when people will start realizing that. It's not racism that some countries if not most countries in Africa are poor, it's actually the government not giving a damn f...k about their own countries. And they rather steal from the netizens and live lavish life themselves. It's pretty sad when you think about it. What's more sad is how people in Africa aren't doing anything about it out of fear of being killed by their own government. That's why a lot if not most people in Africa wants to move away from here. 💁‍♀

OR people save and buy a bag for over $1,000 that they may only use sparingly because "it just cost too much to get dirty" as oppose to opening a retirement account or doing a start up business. Now, I've always been a "to each his/her own" kinda person myself, but uhhh...I must admit that some things or purchases are just questionable ESPECIALLY when you're talking about a man that is a husband and father.

My father is very successful in construction: he makes quite a bit of money by Hawaii standards, but he dresses in clothes he's owned for many many years.

One of his employees once told me: it takes a lot of money to dress as poorly as your papa does.

Its been happening too much in America too, wealthy families that haven't been sharing a bit of it with their own blood family.

3k on kicks is irresponsible i just came into massive money and I wouldn’t think of doing that. I love these guys though! Just hope this hasn’t created a backlash of fake sapeurs or them chasing fame. Hope they remained fashionably humble.

Also standards of living seem low so it's not like it's dire straits.

Why buy land when a dictator can come take it away from you?
Feels strange when you see people that know their place and live to capacity rather than see people truly live beyond their means and fall in massive debt losing everything.

When you come from nothing and realize there's not much for you in life, you do what you can for pride, hope, happiness. This almost doesn't make sense but I get it. You need to feel good about yourself from time to time.

Some say this is how life suppose to be, and others say that is how life suppose to be. But in the end no matter you like it or not, life is just game of value with being happy on other side.
Dictating value is totally nonsense.

Barrington Thompson BEd, AscBA, CCEI cert.

This is as a result of culture and long held tradition. Their forefather did it and got a lot of respect and recognition. As a result, they grew up thinking it is OK.

The same way immoral lifestyle will one day become the norm if those doing it are influential people in our society : actors, musicians and other professionals.

Not really rich people will just have a nice healthy body while a poor man will be unhealthy fat or very skinny 🤣

If that's true why the wealthy own yachts, private jets, mansions, more than five cars, etc? You can't spend your money if like if you are broke if you own these things!!

I wonder who contributes most to the economy, "Rich people spend their money like they're broke, or broke people spend their money like they're rich."?
