I couldn't 't see us spending like that even if we hit the Lottery... and keep in mind this was over 20 years ago.
Brewster's Millions .
Same....maybe even including footwear, as most of it is from the DSW clearance rack, and a couple from when Payless was closing down stores. I tend to trawl the mall department stores for clearance sales whenever we're there.As for $5,000, I don't think I have $5,000 worth of clothes, PERIOD! Well, maybe if you count footwear.
+1, zero interest.I think I'll pass.
+1. Though you have to have more sympathy for those who can’t help themselves?I’m torn when I read and hear about such extravagance. One part of me wonders how they can live like that while other human beings struggle to provide the basics for themselves and their families. The other part of me thinks, all this extravagance employees a lot of working class people who are well paid (I hope) . I am thinking of a bartender who can make $1000 for five hours of work at one of these rich people parties. Actually 10 hours work give the prep and cleanup he’s has to do. Still I never made $100 an hour at any job I worked.
My total spending on clothes for the past 10 years has been $2597, so about $260/year. Most of that is on shoes because I wear expensive shoes that are comfortable and support my feet. Anyway, I (obviously!) wear cheap, comfortable "retiree clothes" like sturdy tshirts and shorts, and have no desire to dress up any further than that at my age.
That said, I liked being able to get a new roof immediately last year when mine started leaking badly (8'x10' puddles on the floor! eek). It's nice to have money when there is a sudden and unexpected need for it.
Last week DW showed me a picture of me 9 winters ago.
Her question...recognize the shirt
Yes...same one I was wearing in Mexico last month.
I hate shopping. I will buy on line infrequently IF I find a brand that I am familiar with, know the sizing, etc.
Otherwise it is Costco. Especially good for travel clothes but you do have to understand what will travel well, wear well, etc. Lots of lesser quality as well.
As above when I buy shoes price is not the issue. Or style. It is all about comfort and quality. Same deal...I hate shopping for shoes!
And that shirt is still like new. It is going to Morocco later this month. Along with my eight or nine year old Teva light weight sandals.
