Trying To Live On $500,000 A Year (Part X) - The Brooks Brothers Suits
I own four suits. When I drop about 15-20 more pounds from the 17 already lost (I gained back 3) I will go out and buy 5 new suits. I can get some decent stuff and with tailoring, it will cost me about $600. That's for all five suits. If I win lotto, I'll buy an Armani.
But the Wall Street pigs can't economize. Instead they have to spend $1000 a suit. Now I cap my expense at $120 a suit. I can get suits for $79 that do the trick. I can also spend $250. Maybe I'll indulge and spend $250 on two and $100 on the other three.
Now I"ll make a concession for the Wall Street elites. You spend no more than $400 a suit. Trust me you can get top quality for that price. Instead of 5 suits for $5,000 you only spend $2,000 saving yourself another $3,000. Even this is excessive but still.
The Wall Street pigs can do without the Brooks Brothers suit. They can still buy nice suits that most people can't afford. They can learn to live on "only" $500,000 a year.
