I don't think the story is fake at all as people buy expensive crap they don't need in college all the time.

I spent $600 for an iphone 1 and $600 for a PS3 when I was in college.

It's not really that farfetched. When I was a kid, I, just like him, saved up and worked hard to get the things I wanted in life.

There is a difference between rich kids in college throwing money at useless name brand faddish crap and someone working part time to EARN a $350 belt.
I simply don't believe the story.

Who will work 35 hours for a BELT? That's two or three weeks part time.

(Watch, the story will come out as a scam.)

I think the story is legit. I would love to get that 33% commission that attorney's get.

Just because you wouldn't do it doesn't mean someone else won't.

I did the same thing as a kid. I worked for weeks, just to afford this jacket that Michael Jackson had on in one of his videos.

Now that I look back on it, I can say it was kind of stupid. But back then? It was worth every hour I had to work.

When I was in college, I would spend hundreds of dollars on jackets, sneakers, iPod, laptop and stuff, but never spent more than $50 on a belt. I don't care who makes the belt, it's just a belt and hardly anyone can see it as I don't tuck in my t-shirt or shirt.

And I'll bet you weren't working to pay your tuition either.
