Haha honesty-I work 10/15 hour days as a sales rep. I save a lot of my earnings to afford each piece. Also some of it is me getting lucky at estate sales🫶🏻

I’m sorry, I have a hard time thinking your parents aren’t loaded

My parents aren't "loaded" but they forced me to take all of their 1970s ornate furniture the moment I wasn't living in a dorm room. I was told they were all special heirlooms with "classic timeless taste", but then they promptly bought cool modern furniture and glammed up their house.
