Loni sounds ignorant as fuck.
It's thinking like that which KEEPS Black people poor.
I was with her when I felt that she was saying it's ok to TREAT yourself to a relatively luxurious item once in a while but then I hear -
"You can live in your parent's basement and buy Nike suits! LMAO! Free country! "
She clearly doesn't think very far but I don't know why I expected more from her.
SHe has a point
if you work hard for your money spend it how u want
spending money on a trip is just expensive
and you still come back poor if you not making better finacial choices
this is where suze ormans can i afford it comes in
I don't think everyone needs to travel. Ultimately, world travel is sort of a luxury.
And yes everyone has the right to spend their money how they'd like. It's not about a discussion regarding people's rights. It's about Loni blatantly promoting materialism and complacency - saying that it's OK for people to spend all their money on clothes as they live at their parent's house.
It's irresponsible of her. Young Black people could be watching this show and this dumb bitch is sitting there telling them that it's OK to be materialistic and dependent. Why not just go all the way and perform "its free, swipe yo EBT" too. Do better, ho.
I think you taking it the wrong way
I think she was moreso talking about the people that are working poor who dont often get lump sums because of their paycheck to paycheck lifestyle to make elaborate plans withe
you worked ya job you paid ya bills and you got 300 left hey imma buy something nice
like shoes or nice jeans or tv or what-have you and simply wanting those things doesnt make you materialistic
but the reality is
the satisfaction of spending that 300 is better than saving it for something less materialistic like a trip
where that 300 surplus after bills will need to be saved months on end for a comfortable trip and you come back to the same cycle
but the shoes will still be there and u can still rock them
loni was pointing out the reality that when funds arent plenty u get your instant gratification
and keep on pushin if it makes you happy
