Phrase that people love to throw around as soon as someone starts debating the ethics and costs of a product. For example, people disagreeing with the cost of certain luxury fashion items, and you'll get a response like ''just say you're broke'', or ''just say you can't afford it''

Buddy, owning expensive stuff isn't an indicator of wealth. Tons of people live way above their means, and tons of people know how to be smart for their money and don't feel the need to spend on questionably overpriced consumer goods.
