You can't afford me

Title taken from the profile of a girl who I'll classify as a "professional flirt."

I'm finding that I'm alternately drawn to and repulsed by girls with expensive taste.

Trapped into watching the Suze Orman show yesterday on CNBC (let's admit, these things happen at times), I found myself glued to the segment called "can I afford it?" where Suze invites viewers to present something they want to buy and then says "show me the money" and tells them whether they can afford their dreams or not. Most of the time the answer is "no" and Suze proclaims "denied" in the same way that Donald Trump says "you're fired."

Pretty much all the viewers fit into one of two categories, people with no savings that want to spend $17 K on a diamond ring and make like $40 K a year, and people who make like $300 K and have enough to retire on at 30 who want to spend 500 bucks on a trip to see their grandmother in Iceland. You know what the answer's going to be before Suze even starts talking, and you wonder why these people called in. It's more like, the rich want everyone to know how well they're doing and the not-so-well off, well, they're probably going to be like "screw off Suze I'm doing it anyway. Just because you said I couldn't."
