people, repeat after me
it's ok don't have money for cosplay
it's fine don't have money when you are not working
reject your circunstances and pretend you have money when you don't IT'S NOT OK.
I see this where i live frequently. People here, specially students, don't have too much money for their hobbies, but here everyone want to look like they were millionaire even when they don't have enough money just because they don't want being seing as poor.
They show their smartphones, their starbucks coffee and talk about all their technology believing they live on a first world country when they're not, and thinking that if they have technology, expensive shops and can travel if they save money during ten years they are part of the first world middle class, even when they are paying all their lies with credits and money they don't even have and they can't pay neither. Even then their lifestyles doesn't have anything in common with most people on the first world.
They want to belive they live in the same way, and that's sad, because one of the first steps for change things is accept the truth about our situation, and most people here are too ashamed for live in a the third world country for accept what is their real situation.
