Misleading Observations

Today, I saw a girl walking down the street with a Gucci bag and Gucci shades and I made the assumption that she had a lot of money or had a man that had a lot of money. (For those that do not know, Gucci is a high-end brand name.) I later met the same girl who happened to be the girlfriend of my friend. We talked and as I got to know her I had realized that she was not all that rich. I mean, she obviously had the money for the Gucci wear but I was expecting her to have a lot more money. She told me she worked really hard over summer to be able to buy those things for herself. She was actually going to school still and paying off a lot of debts from loans and such. Scientific knowledge played a role when I discovered that she was not all that rich because she still had a lot of debts to pay off because of school.
