the word only is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product. but think about this. how long does it take you to earn $79.99? what do you have to do to get that money? the little thing thats only $79.99 is worth（值）almost 12 hours of your work! and if you are making less than this, how long will it take to earn that much money? so as you stand in a shop, telling yourself that you have to buy something, think about how long you must work to earn the money to pay for it. is that $85 t-shirt really worth the time to earn $85? you could probably find a similar（相似的）shirt at another shop for under $35, right?
