Designer clothes are a waste of money

I lived for having a certain velour matching track suit that was all the rage when I was in high school. And designer jeans. I would save all my allowance and blow it on these items, then having no money left to go to the movies or lunch with friends. For Christmas and birthdays, I’d tell my parents to just get me a pair of $300 jeans, instead of multiple smaller things. My mom tried to tell me what a silly use of money this was. She was extra right, since I was a teenager and my body was still changing – these clothes wouldn’t even fit me for two years. But now that I understand that $300 can be a car payment, or a cavity filling, or a portion of rent…I really see how dumb it is that I prioritized those clothes.
