[quote=Anonymous]It’s just priorities. You don’t spend money on clothes because you don’t value it. I spend a lot of money on clothes every year because I love nice fabric - quite literally. I only buy clothes made of natural fibers and I love to wear clothing that feels really good against my skin. It sumptuous, and expensive. What may be less obvious are all the things we don’t spend money on - the biggest thing is certainly that, relative to our income and DC housing prices, we have an inexpensive home - it literally saves us thousands of dollars every single month. We don’t drink alcohol and only rarely eat out. We haven’t taken a big expensive vacation since having a kid. Pre-kid, we travelled internationally only every few years, not annually. Kiddo goes to a relatively inexpensive daycare in our relative inexpensive neighborhood. We fully fund our retirement, are paying off our student loans, spending big money on house projects, etc. We make responsible financial decisions. And because I love clothing and fabric, I chose to spend the most I can afford to spend on it.[/quote]
