What an idiotic OP (in the picture not you). Go into debt over a status symbol with as much utility as a $10 substitute. Yes, brilliant advice.

I mean when viewed from the perspective of his world it makes sense.

He lives in a world where substance is meaningless and all that matters is appearance and bravado. I can appreciate why to him that seems like good advice. Just kinda bums me out people live like that, but I bet he's happy having power and influence and money. Good for him.

I couldn't and wouldn't fuckin live that way and I will stick with my Casio a158, thanks.

Lol. That's a status symbol in different circles. Anyone I see someone wearing a classic Casio, I know we're going to get along.
