That's the problem with being poor. You pay for cheap stuff which inevitably breaks down pre-maturely and then your having to buy new stuff the next year.

Yeah that is true. But you're still not out $200 bucks. Even if you bought 4 new pairs of Walmart boots you're still not out $200.

Price doesn't also denote quality. I've seen a lot of tear down videos about boots and testing from project farm and other YouTube channels. People are more interested in being a meme than practical.

I know what it's like to be poor. I was growing up and through most of my adult life. Being poor means you're paying a lot more for a lot less.
