Very little and that will not change. I spend my money on ME and an unapologetic about that.

I’m not op. I probably spend $12k on clothes and have donated $24-26k the past three years. Why are we asking this?

No one owes a charity donation. You spend your money how you want and let others do the same.

I'm sorry, but, having worked for a number of non-profits, most are just entities designed to keep their employees employed. Give your housekeeper a big bonus instead. Total waste of money in many cases.

Where did the PP specify non-profits? There are many ways to be charitable. And clearly you are not "sorry".

20k *a year* on clothes is excessive and gross. Just is. Don't try to justify it. It's ghastly. That was really the first PPs point and it is well taken.

No one *deserves* to have so much money that they spend $20k on clothes *every year* when so many people in this world have so little.

Yes, yes they do. If you earn the money and pay taxes you *deserve* to do whatever you please with it, as long as it is legal. Pursuit of happiness.

I can’t believe people actually think this way.

Please share your HHI, expenses and how much you give to charity every year so we can judge your choices for how you live your life.

I think it's worthwhile to look over your annual spending, compare to benefits, and then adjust if you determine it's worth it.

Nordstrom at 5K seems like it would be worth it.

I am honestly surprised that you're not approached to be more loyal to certain stores -that they aren't trying to entice you in, as another poster mentioned. Maybe 20K/year isn't worth it, though that seems crazy and shortsighted.

Heck, I spend maybe 15% of what you spend a year, and I definitely try to maximize my perks (especially free shipping at certain annual thresholds).

OP, if i had your budget i would hire an independent stylist that would curate MY look and not be worried about hitting sales quotas or pushing certain items. Whatever perks a store offers are mostly geared to benefit the store.

Also, often expensive clothing is beautifully designed and constructed. Thank god for those who can afford to keep the creative fields (and the myriad of people who work in them) alive.

Yikes.

Nobody is obligated to give to charity especially when very little of that money goes to the causem

Sucks to be you. I just spent $1000 on a dress and I am not a big spender.

They don't need to deserve it if they can afford it.

You obviously arent rich. Rich people still like deals

+1

If you're giving 10% + of your income to charity, then yeah, enjoy your $20k in clothes. If you give a few bucks here and there while dropping this much money on clothes, you're a gross person.

OP, I don’t spend this much on clothes, and never would. BUT, I fully support your right to spend your money however you want and to post in a message board about fashion with questions that are relevant to you. To you bitter losers that think it’s any if your business how much money OP has…and how they spend it…your arrogance is truly frightening. Crawl back into your hole. Or, better yet…let me know when you’re donating all your possessions to charity and modeling your life like Mother Theresa’s. You’re a bunch of bitter hypocrites.

No one asked for your opinion, socialist. You aren’t the decider of things.

Who is buying a $3000 coat and where the heck are you going that you have a need for it along with a new handbag every year?

FWIW I buy at J Crew and J Jill and they have rewards programs- might get free shipping or a feee scarf! Lol
