It would take me 329 years to spend as much on clothes as Palin did

I'm looking in Quicken at my last 5 years of clothing expenses...

I apparently need to step it up a bit.

1. I'm curious so I can compare it to mine--what

was your last five years total?

I wonder what mine is. Did you include shoes, belts, accessories? Handbags? I know mine HAS to be incredibly low.

(But don't ask me about books or plants, please.)

2. Der, nevermind.

You spend a bit under $500 a year on clothing. Math was never my strong suit.

I think I spend about $250 a year, if that. So it would take me nearly 700 years to spend that amount??

6. 700 years!

:rofl:

I just read your post to my bf on the phone and we laughed :spray:

4. $2280.

It includes coats, underwear, shoes... I would say include accessories, but not handbags..

3. I guess that you're not an average "Hockey Mom". n/t

7. I know what you mean.

This year I bought two pairs of sweat pants, a pair of twill slacks, two tops, 3 or 4 T-shirts, some sox, a couple of bras, and some underwear. I bought all of these on the 40% or better sales racks.

8. Yet I guarantee you still look better Glenda!!!!!!!!!! N/T

9. and so our Sara was not embarrassed to spend this money so frivolously

Or did she think nobody would find out? She could've gone Macy's or even Penny's for a decent suit. Just one of her new designer suits cost over 8 K. This is more than hubby and I have managed to save in 15 years.

The woman spent 75K in just one afternoon at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis.

Check this out, this is apparently how some "well-deserving" people live:

Some of these clothes look exactly like something you can buy at a department store for a mere fraction of the price.

This is for the skinny person with really big arms
