I hate the status symbol part. I know so many people who do so many things as a status symbol even the stuff they eat. I just don’t get how people eat what they think is classy but most likely don’t even enjoy it.
I don't buy clothes with 'designer' logos on them either. It's not that I don't care what people think, but I don't care about people who worry about having the 'right' brands.
I actually don’t even buy clothes like the average person if I don’t need to. Not that I live like a hobo with torn clothes but I just think it’s extremely wasteful and also bad for the environment to live in such excess.
I also hope to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible when I do leave.
