Why does everyone wanna look Poor?
 

why do they glorify being Poor so much? So they dont feel like shit everyday?

I've hung out in the Projects,Ghetto and trailer parks before when I was broke and now I dont want to go anywhere near them. Not cause I dont like the people but I worked so hard to stay out of them.

Right now if you want to look kewl..you need to look Broke i dont get it..

Everyone dresses Ghetto and Trailer even Rich Kids

duno, have you seen a rap video recently?

makes you look dangerous

what it means is your getting old Roger lol

Don't want a target painted on our backs if you're making any real bling. See sig for reference :)

LOL!! I have always been a badass and dressed like a stoner or a rocker..
But now even those who are Rich dress to look like they came from the poor
and yes I am a victim of it myself:1orglaugh because I like to show my roots

Is it because girls like Badboys?

I probably look broke to most people. You see I grew up not giving 2 shits what anyone thought about me. I also busted my ass from the time I was a kid to make money. Even in high school I didn't fall into that $200 pair of jeans phase as I thought it was and is retarded. I would rather wake up and put on my $25 jeans and have my neighbor think I"m poor than wake up trying not to look poor on purpose.

Blur:common people

Funny soon as I get into Costa Rica off comes the bling:1orglaugh

I like my old holey tshirts, they are more comfortable. I try not to stray to far from home in them though. lol

It's more comfortable most of the time. And for some reason there is something empowering about dressing in a v-neck t-shirt and ripped jeans when going to a high-end club and still not waiting to get in...while everyone else is in blazers and kakhis in line.

You're moving to Costa Rica?

I like being poor...

roger how does my land look? big enough to build a nice treehouse?

Ohhhhhhhhh Shit!

You havnt heard? I have a condo there and I'm building a sick house in Jaco Beach.

these are pics of the view standing on my land where I'm going to build in Jaco http://www.atmvirtual.com/costarica/

Also developing some other things there www.Costaricanluxury.com the sites not done we should be adding all the projects to it soon as the architects are done. I think the Hi-rise project is up already though

Yea I think Bob has a nice piece of land to build your treehouse on not sure if you saw it when you were in Jaco but here are some pics http://www.atmvirtual.com/costarica/

Each younger generation likes to rebel in their own way.

Cracks me up at the mall and you see fine young adults that you know come from money and yet they are dressed with torn pants and tattered shirts. The girls dress even more funky these days.

Wow, thats awesome, congrats Roger :)

I have been dressing like this forever. I guess looking like your trailer or Ghetto is kool. LOL

the fucked up part is now I have to pay high prices for my Jeans and shirts:1orglaugh

and stupid too :thumbsup

yah - never understood the dress ghetto look. especially not in rich areas, when I went to highschool in Greenwich CT, there was a ghetto movement happening and all i could say to these ppl were, "you live in a 10 bedroom house, who are u kidding"

one thing i like about the philippines is all the more wealthy PI boys go prep and the girls get all slutty, works perfectly for me.

Thats funny :1orglaugh glad you like it there:thumbsup

nice meeting up with you. :)

Keep it real, why front? Be yourself. Just because you got more cash now doesn't mean you turn your back on where you came from or what helped mold you into the person you are today.

Its called fashion and it changes all the time :)

it's not a style for me its how I roll :)

some of the toughest men that I know, dress in jeans and tshirts.

They dont need to look tough, they are.

RogerV. If you dont mind me asking. What size is the lot, and what is the price range??

Which reminds me... gotta buy me a new pair of sackcloth pants, shirt and new sandals. It's the lentil-munching look for bankers meetings :)

The ghetto is hip right now.

But I prefer the ocean personally.

;)

Hey I was in the rock and disco wars lol

Here is a piece that we bought in mexico. About 40 miles south of the border.

Want to start building a house in the next 6 months. That is not only an ocean view, it is a coastal view, but there was fog the day that I shot this photo.

Do you mean the kids that wear jeans 15 times bigger than normal and tshirts that hang to their knees?..Looks like hand me downs from a huge brother

Its fine if thats where you came from but most suburban family kids didnt and they think its kool to dress Poor.

So why do they dress like trailer or ghetto? Its kewl to be Poor now

I like low rise jeans they range from $150-$250 the T-shirts are about $40

I like the vintage look old Rocker/punk/stoner

Not just ghetto so is Trailer Park anything that makes you look like you are poor is hot

Rosaritta? looks nice congrats

I bet thats how it started and now its kool LOL

Yeah. and the property is getting out of hand price wise. Thats why I wanted to know what it was like in Rica. Might make an investment there.

trends stem from a current economical state.

You can get a lot the same place as I did for around $250k unless its gone up
plus I think there is only about 3 lots left out of 15 to give you an idea. its going crazy there as well.

you need to be there to get good deal off the locals
