I just was reminded of another status symbol I had when I was about 12 years old. This is bad. I was in a materialistic phase of my life and I would only wear Polo brand shirts when I went out with my friends. The problem was I only had two Polo shirts and about no money to purchase more.
So, I literally rotated those two shirts every weekend when I went out with my friends, and before long I started to get made fun of for wearing the same clothes over and over. Lucky for me, I didn’t have access to more money to feed this obsession. Many people are not so lucky.

Ah yes. I went through days of being ashamed of not having better clothes. Fortunately now that I have access to credit cards I also have found friends who don’t judge me for my clothes and have developed more self-control.
I’m fairly certain that only movie stars are paid to wear polo shirts. They probably get them for free.
