Clothing problems

Today I overheard a telephone conversation:
Girl on phone: "You better buy me $500-$600 worth of clothes, I have no clothes to wear to collage every day." (Angry tone...)

I could only wonder who was on the other end of the line... her mom? her dad? her boyfriend?
And she looked like she had some pretty good clothes on...

What culture has this world brought for us...
Or, what culture have we created for this world...
