Yeah. I read that they spent pretty much their life savings on him.


This is true...which, according to articles and interviews, is one of the reasons that Johnny has agreed to pay for his brother's college.

Personally, I don't mind Johnny's shopping habits (I think the shopping hobby is cute, honestly), but it's probably because I can understand them. When I first had money of my own, I went on quite a few spending sprees (didn't quite go the Louis Vuitton route, but Bloomingdales did well by me). This phase passed, however; I have to spend more judiciously now that I have a car payment, etc.

If any of you are on SkateFans, you've seen the negative reaction to this same article, but my take is this: Johnny isn't hurting anyone by going shopping. It's his money, he works hard for it, and if hitting up shops and spending his discretionary dosh on clothes makes him happy, that's great!
