Yes I want to afford chanel, but not in order to actually buy chanel, but to have the resources to donate for schizophrenia research and also to keep my parents in good health for as long as possible.

Best is to buy vintage with that kind of stuff so the value doesnāt. Go down. I joke with my wife about buying her one along with a diamon tennis bracelet and maybe some Pearls but all she responds is āwhat?! You want me to get robbed?ā Haha

My dad was a big spender and used to amass lots of stuff and status symbols. He was a successful business man and had the spending money. So, this is how I grow upā¦,seeing him do this. It kind of made me jelouse of his luxury life style and so to this day I am kind of often having impulses to buy status symbols and luxury items which I cannot even afford. I have good taste and I do like quality but the truth is you can get quality things on sale or buy brands or no brand things which are quite good quality but less expensive than the luxury brands. Just today, I stopped at a Porsche car dealership just to check out what cars are currently for sale. I am dreaming of course. It would be so stupid of me to buy a Porsche. Irrational but I am tempted nevertheless. You can get a used one for 30 something thousand Euro its older but its still a Porsche to be able to have the status symbol. The more I think about it, the more I am wondering about myself what made me go to the Porsche dealership. Just plain greed or what exactly do I want to achieve? Well, its not going to happen anyway. In another car dealership I saw a Porsche Cayenne 10 years old for 14 thousand Euro. That sounds more affordable. But if I can spend 14 thousand I can buy a much newer more practical and reasonable car from another car maker. Crazy. BTW, please dont spend that much money on a purse, its just stupid. You dont need that purse, you are a valuable and intersting person without a luxury purse.

My dad has been the exact opposite his whole life. He would wear the same shorts or t-shirts for years on end. He would never buy a new watch as long as the old one kept functioning. He would treasure antiques or old objects that he inherited from previous generations, and try to keep them in good shape. He would not eat much. He would work and sleep, like a robot.
I once asked him what made him happy and if he was young again what he would choose to make with his life. He didnāt know what to answer really. I was sad for him. Not sad for his lifestyle, but sad because behind it I thought there was someone with strong convictions but instead I found someone that simply didnāt have more ideas what to do with his lifeā¦
I donāt usually speak badly about dad, and I love him to bits, but sometimes I wish he was different, I wish he could have instilled in me some passion, to have given me a different exampleā¦

thank for sharing these thoughts Andrey. My dad was quite materialistic and ambitious and really kind of into enjoying lifes pleasures. I thought too much so. On the other hand, I benefited from him having plenty of money because he financed my entire education generously. Without his financial help, I could not have done it because I was lazy and not a very excellent student. After my studies, when I started to develop sz and later had a breakdown. he was able to catch me from falling so to speak and took me into a company he owned. I worked there until his death and lived comforably but felt very unloved by him. I felt like I am a burden a lot and he often let me know that I was. However, I had a big improvement when I switched meds and my dad noticed I was getting much more functional so he even agreed to a steep increase in my salary. When he died quite young, I was ready to live on my own and have my own family. This was like 12 years ago and sicne then I live ok, He did try to cut me out of his last will though but I settled with his then wife and even to this day I profit from this money I got from him. But money is not everything, I wish I had had a better and closer relationship with my dad. We did not communicate much about feelings at all. I am very different from him a to this part. I have personally experienced a lof of grief because my father did not communicate his feelings for me very well and so I am making a point now with my son to do better and so that my son and I can talk about feelings and also express our love and affection for each other. Its so important this.

Yes, dad-son relationships are often tricky. Genetically dads are not programmed to love their offspring. They sometimes do, but often donāt. Your father didnāt seem to love you that much, but instead he was a responsible parent, and you are right to be grateful for that. My father was responsible too, not too affectionate, but not cold either. If I had to rate my relationship with him, on a scale from 1 to 10 Iād give it a 7.

I have concluded the idea is all you need is loveā¦not more luxury itemsā¦its like compensating for a lack of love and affection now or past. THis could be the root cause in my own issues with it.

You learn through a good read, me I am the kind of person who prefers Exploring the outdoors , not much different. Weāre both learning 
I think certain people are like that. Even if they feel something they can not express it sometimes. My dad is like that. He acts cold bc he is a man Sometimes this is true.
