I read with fascination here some time ago as older wiser voices admonished a younger poster not to go into debt by charging a new suit on a credit card....obviously using the plastic is hardly ever the best choice, but since we're all clothes horses here I figured my obsessive compulsive shopping behavior was 'normal' (for us).
I am trying to be more fiscally responsible these days and this has made my desire for bespoke saville row difficult to reconcile with my not-even-close-to-six-figure-income.
sobering but I reckon where there is a will there is a way; I was wondering if any other mere mortals spend a goodly portion of their annual income on a bespoke suit or shoes?
I figure if I limit myself to just one suit and shoes per year that's still a quarter of my present earnings....
with no real savings left for things like a house, emergencies, vacations, etc etc
short of robbing a bank or getting adopted by donald trump ( wait - never mind, he'd force you to wear HIS new line of duds.....defeats its own purpose), how do you guys do it? (meaning any of you who make less than say, 100k/yr)
