Also - this a a relatively minor issue between us, as we generally agree on major ticket items.  It's the little things like drinks at Panera and [b]buying clothes that aren't on sale [/b]that are where we might take different approaches.

Some of this is because all these little "extras" have gotten a LOT more expensive, so like the >$4M net worth PP - our day-to-day expenses are increasing and these $4-5 extras are representative of every getting more expensive - what was an "inexpensive" vacation is now $10K for 4 people.

Disclaimer - yes, these are "rich" people problems - we can afford good food, mortgage, cars, medical care, and still have "fun" money and savings.  Skipping  the fancy citrus that's $4 a piece because that's a ridiculous price for a single piece of fruit  is vastly different than not being able to afford groceries and gas. [/quote]

As someone who did a stint in mall-store clothing retail -- 90 percent or more of the clothing that is on the "sale" rack is trash. Literally. Corporate sends out the stuff it bought but then realized it could not put out onto the floor in the stores because it was too low in quality ... for the sales. Very little on that sales/clearance rack is clothing that was actually for sale on the regular racks in the store but didn't sell and then was discounted. And what of that there is ... well, there was a reason it didn't sell. The stuff sent to us specifically for the clearance racks arrived poorly constructed, a weird print/color, with off sizing, or was just ugly or whatever. So most of the clothing (if not all of the clothing) on the sales/clearance rack isn't really "on sale," as in reduced in price. It's trash that they hope to move by putting it on the sale rack. It works, to a certain extent, thanks to people like you who will gravitate to that reduced price sticker no matter what. [/quote]

This is really interesting!  I always wondered why there would be so many of one specific item or there wouldn’t be a lot more items in the less common sizes.  [/quote]
