To Buy or Not to Buy

[jteezie]

Some facts....
Average american spends $ 150 a month per person on clothes and average clothes clothes take about 50 washes.... Personally I find that extremely expensive... You can make do on much less. Also, clothes are one of the firsts things people see so it might be worth investing in because looking bad will remove opportunities.

I guess my question is, at what point are you spending on necessity versus spending carelessly? Should we go buy clothes or continue to save and pay off debt? Or should we do both?

He's talking about taking money out of our emergency fund to buy these clothes in addition to the extra money of my paycheck.

Should we buy clothes and only use the extra money from my paycheck or go all out? HELP ME!!!!!!!
