Sometimes I feel like I make an insignificant amount of money. Sometimes I think this while wearing a $1300 suit. =/

What a cheap suit, shameless scrub

My best suit is $300. The amount some of y'all spend is ridiculous

You might actually make an insignificant amount of money and just paid a lot for a suit. Both can be true.

1.3K isn't an expensive suit. On the same note, the price of the suit means nothing, the designer and style/fit means everything. Hopefully you actually have a nice suit vs just paying 1.3k because you can.

People that pride themselves in how much they spend on something are douches. Be proud of the quality, the feel, the fit...not the price

OP I'm totally with you. It's like almost more frustrating just being able to get a taste of what it might feel like to be truly wealthy (whether it's buying expensive clothes or expensing nights at the St. Regis), but then sickeningly disappointing when you realize things like vacation homes in the Hampton's and a penthouse in NYC are so far out of reach...and most of your travel perks are just lifestyle inflation compared to what you actually make. I brood on this all the time.

Aim for capital accumulation. CapEx on quality assets with low depreciation, not OpEx. A 1.3k suit makes no sense unless you have serious assets, or worse, serious debt.
