My daughter mentioned a few weeks ago that she gets most of their clothes at Good Will etc. Their annual income is a bit over $100,000.00. That is pretty good for Oklahoma.

I am not sure they are that frugal in all areas it might just be that she thinks clothes are over priced.

I have clothes where I am third known owner and got them for free. If I am looking for something specific, I always start with the thrift shops. I needed a formal once with specification to color. The dry cleaning bill was twice what I paid for the dress. And then I sold the dress to someone else for $10.

Millionaires wear very expensive clothing.
Billionaires wear whatever is comfortable.

A lot of rich people do similar things. My great grandfather (billionaire by today’s standards) wore worn out clothes and would ‘repair’ them with safety pins. One of the favorite local stories is two guys saw him along the road, waiting for a ride and one said something about the ‘homeless guy’ sitting there and the other responded “when I grow up I want to be as rich as that ‘homeless guy’”

My grandfather was the same way. He wore polyester jeans and plaid western shirts. He also carried a note guaranteeing over 250k in credit in case he found something he wanted to buy. There are a lot of millionares next door.

We have “IKEA” in every room in our house — 2 generation household, with a toddler and varying numbers of rescue cats — it doesn’t make sense to buy high-end furniture at this time. We stick to the sturdier choices and add unique accent pieces, inherited “good stuff” & lots of artwork to balance it out. Maybe someday we’ll upgrade to “real” furniture, but as long as we know how to follow the directions and don’t expect to be able to move it all to another house, IKEA works fine for us.
