Get that bag.
A Millennial on social media is going viral for bragging about living at home with their parents and using the money they don’t use toward rent to buy designer bags.
“Normalize living with your family and spend the money you save on rent on a bag,” TikTok user @yourbrokebestiejay said in a video with 938,600 views.
The TikTokker has multiple videos showing off the designer bags they’ve purchased — Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Celine, and so on.
Without standard bills like monthly rent payments, utilities, and internet, grown adult children with an income can put that money toward other spending — in this case, designer bags.
Jay wasn’t the only one who took advantage of living at home to spend money freely.
One person in the comments shared that they’re a 28-year-old lawyer living with their parents in NYC, “but buying a new Chanel every other month and traveling.”
“Me yesterday running to my room with bags, hoping no one saw,” a comment read alongside a picture of two Louis Vuitton shopping bags.
Another user declared that they only plan to move out “when I buy everything I want first.”
“Literally buying and traveling what I can before I join the rat race of paying my own rent,” one added.
Someone even admitted that they are “literally not leaving until I’m married.”
“Makes me sick to think how many bags I could’ve bought with all my rent money,” another said.
One user noted that all they see are investments, as more and more people are buying designer bags as investment pieces for retirement.
On the other hand, one person shared that their mom now lives with them — and the mom gifts designer bags in lieu of paying her child rent.
“My grandparents left me their home when they passed away and I’m an only child, so my mom lives with me. She always buys me designer bags lol,” the user shared.
“She just got me a LV monogram speedy, a Murakami speedy and a Murakami wallet and pochette. I always feel bad, but she tells me it’s her rent money haha. Super thankful for her and I spoil her too!”
