ok to play devil's advocate, I want to put out the other side of the coin

If you gain some sort of social power or mobility from looking a certain part but you cant afford the status symbols, if you get fake ones that can convince everyone they are real then you are one step ahead. Its a power game, and if thats a technique you want to use to get ahead, then so be it. You place yourself in the higher status circle - just dont get caught or your game's up. Make sure you assert yourself enough when you get there so that even if you did get caught, it wouldnt matter anymore.

In that way, these expensive items are just a front anyways, even if you have the real ones. So do what you need to do
