Golden Handcuffs Performance Shirt
Regular price $129.00 Save $-129.00The most expensive chains aren't made of steel. They're made of salary, benefits, and the fear of starting over.
This performance shirt shows the truth most people won't admit: that golden handcuffs are still handcuffs. The suit looks professional, successful, respectable. The golden dollar signs remind you what's really binding you.
"GOLDEN HANDCUFFS ARE STILL HANDCUFFS" printed where you can see it every time you look down.
The design represents every person trapped in a job they hate, staying for the money while their soul slowly dies. Every graduate who picked the safe career over their passion. Every entrepreneur who sold their dream for a steady paycheck.
Professional Meets Reality:
Looks like executive wear, performs like athletic gear
Perfect for training, swimming, or reminding yourself that security is often just fear in a nice suit
UPF 50+ sun protection for outdoor workouts
Four-way stretch moves with your ambition, not your anxiety
The Philosophy:
Real freedom isn't about having money. It's about not being controlled by it. This shirt represents the moment you realize that the golden cage is still a cage, no matter how shiny the bars look.
Chapter-Inspired Design:
From the book Positively Stubborn—the mindset that chose freedom over security. Your clothes are armor for your transformation.
Technical Details:

The prettiest prison is still a prison. Wear the reminder to break free.
