Default Can thongs can define your lifestyle?..

After reading heaps of crap on here about "can we survive on anything between 50k and 300k"..."I want a house an hour from the CBD and close to a beach"..." what's Perth really like"...etc..etc

It's getting more and more difficult to help people when you dont know what their "lifestyle" really is...

So to try and help i've come up with an idea to use thongs (flip flops) as a common household indicator.

So how much do you spend on thongs..are you a $100 surf shop label person or a $2.85 from Kmart person..do thongs maketh the man/woman..

If you get that thong wrapped around your gas or break pedal then it can define your lifestyle - days in hospital.

Never thought about it. We've done something in between 100 and 2.85.

I am a Rivers thongs girl but once in a while when there's a sale on, I do get the urge for a pair of Havaianas - they definitely don't go flat quite as fast as Rivers, but Rivers - at $5 a pop are squishier to start with

I definitely feel more chilled day to day because nine times out of ten, I'm wearing thongs.

Nice

I'm definitely a 'somewhere in the middle' kinda guy. I believe my last pair of things cost about $25. So what is Perth really like?

I've found the best thongs I reckon, purple, with little sequins, and they are fluffy! Much softer on the toes.
$16.99 from our 6ft tall, built like a brick watsit, Avon "lady" at work.

Default Re: Can thongs can define your lifestyle?..

I'm definitely a havaianas kinda guy - have bought a coupla pairs in the last few months - one pair was $25, the other $30.

Also have a cheapy $5 pair from K-Mart for mooching around the garden, sorry - yard, in!

Used to wear cheapies in the UK, but have definitely discovered that the thongs maketh the man out here so tend to spend a little more!
