[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t buy hundreds of dollars in clothes every few months. You set a budget for buying necessities (undergarments, tees, shoes) and a couple good quality items each year.

I am stylish, and have years where I buy nothing except a pair of shoes and then replacing necessities. Most of my clothes last a decade or longer. I don’t shop at Walmart. I shop sales and consignment. I am careful to buy things in more classic or timeless cuts, that go with other items in my closet.

I do occasionally spend more to afford something like a fantastic winter coat or update items that are truly out of fashion. But I care about style so I’m okay saving a little less that month. But I’m not making that choice 4 times a year. I’m making it once every few years. That way I maintain a high level of savings but also get to enjoy some of my money now in the form of quality clothes I enjoy wearing.

Similar approach to travel.

If you don’t prioritize style that’s fine. It’s something I do for me, like splurging on a massage or a great vacation.[/quote]

This is the way to do it.[/quote]
