Flexing about how little you paid for something is way better than flexing about expensive stuff
Literally the title but I'll give some examples
Currently,you can find expensive things everywhere. Oh you have a bag that costs 10k? Good, with a quick search I can find a dozen of those
But imagine you bought some 8$ shoes that you've been wearing everyday for a year and they're still in perfect condition? You can't find a lot of those
I get that the main reason people flex in general is to basically say "oh look I'm rich" but I would rather flex my shopping skills than my money
