She could choose to do better though...
I spend about $300 and 20 hours a month in commuting....
However, I really don't spend much in clothing, I do work in Corporate America but I've managed to dress formal with 3 pairs of pants and 5 nice shirts. I have 4 jackets for especial days. Main colors are black, beige and white. I have one pair of black working shoes and one pair of beige working shoes. I buy easy care clothing so no dry cleaning. I don't use jewerly
I am not the best dressed or the most neat at work but I make up by being very good at what I do and very good social skills. I am offered as many opportunities as my better dressed peers.
I decompress a lot with meditation and journaling and praying and playing with my son.
Still the point remains, before you spend money, is there a better way..
