Never, the closest I've ever got was considering buying Beats but theyre genuinely terrible headphones.

I can't fathom the types who spend like 300 quid on celebrity endorsed ****, crazy.


There's one watch that had quite a limited supply. The price shot up from £1750 to £4300. This was signed by some sporting celebrity. This being said it is a damn good watch except I'm not so fond of silicone on watches

Never until I started work now I buy nice watches, shoes, suits etc. It helps people take you more seriously especially with clients. You have to look professional. Some may call my car a status symbol but I like to drive fast so...

Yeah I wear a shirt without tie for the office and dress up for clients/conferences or anything else where I'm representing the company.

true
Not really because I'm too busy trying to be mortgage free by 44.
An Ecko tracksuit, though the status this was symbolic of is perhaps not the one you were suggesting.
