How much should you spend on clothes?
It's a pretty simple question, but the answer varies for everyone. I told myself once I started making a legitimate income, I'd put 10% away for luxuries.
I have a lot of money saved up (in the thousands) already, and I frequently eye the pricy articles on the Saks 5th Avenue website. I recently found a pair of Montblanc gold-plated cuff links for about $360 ($515 at retail). Should I?

1 답변You can spend way less on cuff links that will look just as good. When it comes to things like that, being smart and strategic is important. Show me a person who spent $5,000 on clothes, and I can find someone who dresses as good or better who spent only $500. However, it is your money and you are entitled to spend it how you wish.

It's amazing how many DC, American Eagle, Hollister, or any brand clothes are cheap there. Not to mention you get a 20% off coupon for donating lightly used clothes. I spend less on clothes than on food and it's amazing.

5% of income per year sounds right in my head if you end up working in a corporate setting. Buy quality in the beginning. Better to spend $300 on a pair of dress shoes that lasts a decade than $80 shoes every two years.

1 답변Also, don't go buy one item. Buy a lot of Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren (not shitty T-shirts that make you look like some black kid thinking he has money), Southern Tide, Vineyard Vines, Lacoste (not the shitty American Lacoste), and Southern Proper. Buying one expensive piece of apparel and wearing it a lot makes you look like a wannabe.

I don't really see the purpose of cuff links, mind you, I don't wear a suit to work, and when I do wear a suit, my sleeves end up rolled past my elbows.. If I were to wear a suit daily maybe I would appreciate the cuff links, but as of now, I say it isn't the best idea.
