I don’t understand how someone can have a souped up car and still live in the projects

Because it’s cheaper to buy rims and shit than it is to save up a deposit to get a better home. Because a tax refund can buy you something nice but can’t replace the job and salary you need to get a better home. Or because we’re taught that visible indicators of wealth make us better than we are. Like, there’s plenty of reasons, sis, they’re pretty simple.
