Great Read!" Why do poor people waste money on Luxury Goods”..

13. Actually, BOTH are true. Poor people come in all different sizes, thought patterns and colors.

The article is talking about someone's experience. They had a lesson and a reason for what they did and lots of people learned things like that and it influenced how they think and act.

Poor people might buy fancy shoes for the same basic reason others do - it's what they really want to wear - AND with the underlying knowledge that 1 pair of good leather shoes will last a lot longer than 3 or 4 of the cheap ones, so in the long run it's a better use of the money. (Long as it isn't for a kid who is going to grow out of them in 2 months!)

Poor people like the rest of us, blow their money putting a little LIFE in their life. So what? Getting through the day is so hard that sometime you just gotta do the do and having a few special events in life or purchases that make life easier makes doing the do more possible.

The system will suck up that tax return if it isn't spent down in 30 days and you can tell them how you spent it. So yeah, I get why people buy whatever they want at tax time. It's a time of choice and they get to flip off the establishment in the process. Not bad work if you can get it.
