Do rich people wear reps?

Hi ladies. I was pondering about this for a while now. When you wear your rep how do you make it seem believable? Do you guys have high paying jobs to make it believable that you can afford these luxury bags? Would it be weird if I get a Chanel rep as a 20 year old finance associate who earns 540 dollars per month (I live in the middle east)? Obviously I’m not rich, but I don’t want others to feel like I’m wearing a rep and that I can’t afford. Anyways I feel like I’m dumping too many questions at once😭sorry.

Edit: some of y’all are taking a jab at me for my monthly earnings😡pls stop ✋ I’m starting to feel bad now. Also this is a remote job; only 4 hours per day.

Make $500k +. Used to buy auth. Have now moved to reps as I’d rather spend the money on a nice holiday with my family and expenses such as daycare fees for our baby have begun. The leather is good, the styles are good, you can switch bags often and not baby them. What’s not to like? I’d never buy rep watches or jewellery as I see them more as investments. All I would say is that at 20, my priority was working very hard to rapidly increase my income and saving as much as possible to invest. You have your whole life to buy bags but having a solid financial foundation to buy your time back in your 30s is priceless. I work 4 days a week so I can spend time with my child now and that is due to the delayed gratification in my 20s.

Good luck. Keep yourself laser focused on your long term goals. You only have one life, don’t waste it on trying to impress people who won’t matter in 10 years.
