[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - I am an admitted spend thrift. DH has to insist I buy new clothes when mine are wearing out or I don’t have something appropriate for a given event (like no hiking shoes, running shoes are complete bare sole, etc.)

I just think little things add up to big things and we already have big things to pay for. So why spend more money on things we really don’t think (in my mind). [/quote]

Spendthrift means the opposite of what you think it means.[/quote]

Op - ha you are right! Probably right word is cheap. I hate spending money.

I lived on very little in my 20s and don’t see the need for so much materialistic stuff. It seems wasteful and bad for the environment.

Kids always have what they need in terms of clothes and items for school, sports, activities etc.

I wear things till they need replacing. I have the same jeans from my 20s. I have the same hiking boots, jackets, sweatshirts, etc. they are all fine. I am the same size as I was then so I don’t see the need to replace it all. [/quote]
