What luxurious bags mean to girls
I got into a big argument with my girlfriend yesterday. She wanted to buy a Gucci handbag. She works at a part time job for $10 per hour and can barely support herself. I told her that expensive handbags are a waste of money.
In fact, men don't care about what handbags girls use.
I told her that she needs to have other priorities such as a new laptop because her old computer is broken. Whenever she needs to use a computer, she comes to my place. When I tried to give her some advice yesterday, she got mad at me and we had a big argument.
Am I wrong? Personally, I'd rather see her donate that cost of the handbag to some charity and feed some children in need rather than giving that money to some rich bag company.

여자들에게 명품백이란?
어제 여친과 대판 싸웠다. 그녀는 구찌가방을 사고 싶어했다. 그녀는 현재 시급 10불의 알바를 뛰고 간신히 생계를 유지하고 있다. 나는 그녀에게 그렇게 비싼 가방은 완전 돈낭비라고 말했다. 사실 남자들은 여자들이 무슨 가방을 메는지 관심도 없다. 나는 여친에게 노트북 같은 것을 먼저 사라고 했다. 왜냐면 여친 컴퓨터가 고장 났기 때문이다. 여친은 컴퓨터를 쓸 일이 있을 때 마다 우리집으로 온다. 어제 내가 충고 좀 해줬더니, 완전 나한테 화를 내고 결국 싸우고 말았다. 내가 틀린 말 했는가? 개인적으로 차라리 그 돈을 부유한 가방회사에 주지 말고 어려운 아이들을 먹이는 자선단체에 가방 살 돈을 기부했으면 좋겠다.
