work, take advantage of sales

if you buy shit that's actually cool and worth something you can sell it after you don't want it or if it doesn't fit you or look good on you, and recoup some of the money

so a lot of dudes can buy dope shit on a relatively small budget that they supplement with selling

Since I'm in school, I work summer jobs and set aside a certain amount to spend on clothes. After going through my wardrobe, I make a list of what I need to get and then watch for sales at outlet malls and local stores.
For example, there was a 30% off sale on Polos at the Ralph Lauren outlet in my area. I can combine this with the student discount to get a $60 polo shirt for about $30. I know factory outlets have lesser quality clothes, but nobody notices so that shit doesn't matter. From my personal experience, it's no worse than Belk or other department stores.

go on grinder or craigslist saying you need to get your dick sucked. there's a lot of guys who do this and don't expect reciprocation. then when they contact you just be hesitant and say you're having second thoughts and they'll usually offer you money (especially the old guys). just build up a small client base and they'll come looking for you. they always try to offer me more money to go further (once got offered $300 to buttfuck a guy), but i always turn it down "nah mane, i'm straight as an arrow"

>It's not really that hard.


The sad part is I went to school with 99% of the kids like this.

Fuck, even one of the stupidest kids in the grade is now instagram famous JUST because he shows off how rich he is (mostly car stuff like the pagani and the 12+ ferraris he, I mean his dad has)


It's fucking hilarious all the people commenting like "What do you do for a living to make all this money???" When I full well know he ONLY graduated HS because his dad donated over million dollars to the school and just basically mooches off his dad's wealth.

He even posts stuff like "Nothing in life comes easy" or "with hard work comes good money" or some shit like that and people EAT IT UP.

be mindful of the clothes you buy.
i really don't like calling clothing an 'investment,' but, in a way, buying high quality, 'fashionable' pieces can often end up being the cheaper option long-term.
if you spend money on well-made, well-fitted shoes, with saving money and their potential longevity in mind, you can easily end up with a pair that lasts you 5 or 6 times as long as some shitty fast-fashion made trash with plastics, shoddy gluing, etc. the pair will also gain character as it ages, instead of starting to just decay awkwardly.
the fact that it might cost significantly more could initially deter you, but when you consider how you'll end up rebuying the poorly-made shoes in however many months time, youll realise youre actually getting the cheaper option by going with the better-made shoe.

obviously also be looking out for sales.
you can often find really nice clothes that are cheap because theyre sold off-season, when stores are trying to bring in new merchandise for a different time of year.
e.g. if you find summer shorts at a nice shop in the middle of winter, and they fit you, you'll probably end up getting them at 1/1.5, 1/2 or even less than the original cost. always be looking for bargains.

Also with this, the last few of a particular piece often get marked down. whats left is almost always awkward sizes, but be mindful that certain items of clothing can still look good in different sizes, and go with a potential fit. If a piece is comfortable, but too large to wear without looking weird, then consider buying it for pajama-type clothes for at home.

obviously, also, buying online can often end up being cheaper.
e.g. sunglasses.
Even after having nosepads adjusted,etc.
you can often save a lot by not physically buying them at a shop, where there's hella markup.

fashionable clothes dont have to be 'luxurious', or something to 'waste' money on. just spend wisely.
also have rich parents undt a novel view of the lowerclass.

if you are under 30 years old and buy designer clothing, you either work a fuck ton and have no social life anyways, or you have a wealthy family

its not how much money you have though, its how you spend it

some people can have a lot of money but buy absolutely fucking nothing with it because they aren't interesting

while some people can make a little bit of money go really far

don't buy something if you aren't going to use it/wear it. its okay to buy expensive things if you are going to use it everyday.

clothing is fit over price tag though. you definitely don't have to spend much at all to look good.
