I did have to start dressing nicer for work a few years ago though.
:lol: Ain't that a shock to your clothing budget? I ended up spending like $800 for a "starter" wardrobe when I started at TWC. I still need to go pick up some more shirts and maybe another pair of shoes because I don't want to put these Cole Haans in an early grave. Apparently these are the last year with the Nike sole. :dunno:
I get it Lee, It just ain't my bag. Neither are comic books or coke machines or expensive memorabilia. I like to spend my money on things that offer a concrete benefit. I own a sports car because I like to go out and drive it. I buy slightly more expensive clothes because I know from experience they'll last considerably longer than Walmart clothes.
At this point in my life there's no concrete benefit to a "real watch" or "real jewelry." A Rolex would not offer me $9,890 more life than my $110 Skagen. I'm currently shopping for engagement stones and half wishing I could wriggle out of getting a real stone because the pricing seems so ridiculous and arbitrarily assigned.I'm sure my perspective will change when (if) I have more money in my pocket.
