Why can't they let go of their socks with holes?

Not going to lie, I continue to wear socks with holes in them. While you may think that this is something that's 'low-cost', that may not be the case for everyone. As well as that, how many things in our lives can we consider 'low-cost'? If we add all of these things together they do add up, and sometimes you just need to know the point at which spending has to stop. When I consider something like socks I would think along the lines of "Ok, a new pair of socks is going to cost a few dollars. For this same price I could buy a bag of rice, noodles, or pasta; and/or even some broccoli or frozen mixed vegetables." So the decision ultimately comes down to a trade-off between purchasing a new pair of socks that frankly I don't even need (in my opinion), or eating a good dinner. Food, for me, takes priority over most other things. While this isn't to say that I won't replace a sock that is more hole than sock (getting a bit too worn at that point) I see nothing wrong with continuing to wear socks that have seen some wear. Perhaps after I finish studies, if I'm able to land a well-paid job, then I can look at replacing my socks on a more regular basis, but until then I am quite happy with what I am doing right now.

I admit yes, I have some socks with holes in it. I don't know exactly what's stopping me from buying new ones. Maybe because I'm so much in a tight budget right now. Yes, it's not expensive, but it will still affect my budget. I also sew all the holes in my socks. Sometimes the sewed holes opens again, but I still can't find a reason to buy new socks. It's also because I don't have time to look for socks.

I definitely understand your point of view. I don't see why some people can't just throw those socks with holes in them away. They look so disgraceful. My question is, how do men get holes in their socks in the first place? You could buy them the best sock out there and they would have a hole in it in a maybe a month, but probably less than that. I don't think I have ever developed holes in my socks before, but I know that if I did, the second the hole I appeared, those socks would be in the trash.

Some people simply do not care, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. But it does come across as quite rude walking around in old socks with holes when you have company. It stops looking like you don't care about your socks and begins seeming like you don't care about your guests. I never wear socks that have holes in them. At least not since gym class in 8th grade when we had to take off our sneakers for gymnastics and my socks had holes in them like I was too poor to buy new ones. It was really embarrassing, even though no one commented on it.

There are some socks with holes, it is designed for health conditions. Like, elastic stockings, the toes are need to be exposed. I can't think it is fine to wear socks with holes at home.
