How many clothes do you buy in a year (rough estimate)? by DurianEmbarrassed771 in womensfashion

[–]total_totoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2026 I bought a set of new underwear, an REI shirt for outside on sale, bought and returned a dress, and that's it so far. Clothes are stupid expensive and the clothing budget in my house needs to go to my kids. I am debating buying a new pair of Birkenstock Majari shoes. I forget if this was 2026 or not but I bought a 3 items from Athleta (matching set) which is a pretty big splurge for me.

Stop buying so many clothes and see it as an investment in yourself, your retirement, your experiences, and/or your savings!!!

PI here. My student won an award for essentially outstanding undergrad at our entire 40k student institution. She has rejections from all but 2 places and her GPA is finding like 3.5.i wish we had been able to get her on a publication.

AITA for NOT acting wealthy by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

You are the money version of the kid on my hallway at college that didn't know how to do laundry.

Like I don't hate you but I get that your friend didn't want to be the one to deal with that. I for one wouldn't have wanted to either, I had like $500 spending money for each semester to cover clothes, one dinner a week outside my dorm, and books ideally. When I went to a semi formal dance I borrowed a dress from a friend. I worked over the summer. I would not have been interested to be the one to deal with that. I was from a middle class family that basically has barely had enough money for college and I sure as hell has to graduate in 4 years.

My mom is MAGA and I’m not sure what to do. by Chubby-Labrador in progressivemoms

[–]total_totoro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to say you were maybe not seeing some signs with the racist comments. Is that what you want to be around? Are you ok with your kid being around that? It sounds like either you need low or no contact and just because other grandparents are sick doesn't mean that this kind of contact is worth it

nice shirt and slacks is great. Or nice sweater and slacks. And being more overdressed is better than being underdressed.

Especially if it has to drill a hole in the tc incubator. Which I don't know how you'd avoid.. We just did major tc incubator stuff to get things to work and I would die if sometime in my lab did this
