[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How in the world do people afford style?  I look at my take home pay, taxes, health care costs, etc. etc. And I'm left with a modest paycheck.  Then after I pay mortgage, utilities, groceries, a car payment for a modest car, and the rest of the bills, I only have modest amounts of disposable income that mostly goes towards savings for emergencies.  It isn't like we are poor either - we are a $200k+ household.  We don't live in an insanely expensive house and drive a $22k car.  I max out the retirement accounts, which is expensive.  I literally cannot figure out how people afford style.  Like how are people able to afford to wear new outfits every day that you don't buy from Walmart?  Shirts are no like $30+. Pants?  $50+.  Sweaters? $60+.  Decent pair of shoes all $80+.  I think right now I have one pair of jeans, 3 chinos, about 6 plain T shirts, about 5 collared shirts, and about 3 sweaters. 3 pairs of shoes (2 dress + 1 sneakers) My wardrobe is pretty pathetic, I know it.  I just cannot fathom blowing hundreds of dollars every few months on buying more clothes or shoes. I probably do clothes shopping maybe once every 3-4 years, but only begrudgingly because I get sick to my stomach spending money on clothes when that money could be used to save for emergencies, investing, or paying off debt.  How are people able to afford style to keep their wardrobes modernized and to have a selection wide enough where they're wearing something new almost every day of the year?  [/quote]

You have financially responsible style.  And not wasteful style which very on trend with gen Z.   Nothing wrong with that.[/quote]
